The impact of COVID-19 on oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma patient demographics, management, and oncologic outcomes: a Danish retrospective cohort study
We found a significantly decreased TTT for primary surgery during the pandemic alongside a notable decline in primary surgery and a corresponding increase in CRT. Lockdown periods of the COVID-19 pandemic did not impact the frequency or prognosis of OPSCC in Eastern Denmark.
