Evaluation of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) Patient Outcomes Based on Rurality: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Rural and urban HNSCC patients showed no significant differences in treatment adherence or outcomes. These findings suggest that rural patients may have access to sufficient resources and support, enabling them to receive cancer treatment comparable to their urban counterparts. However, this study may be limited by its relatively small sample size, and further research is warranted to explore this topic in larger and more diverse populations.
