Head and neck cancer trends in Denmark: A nationwide, 40-Year data analysis
Our study showed a continued increase in incidence for HNC alongside an improvement in survival. The survival varied notably across different tumor subsite. Continued research is essential to address these variations and improve outcomes across cancer subsites. Exploring opportunities for treatment de-escalation to mitigate the toxicity associated with current therapies is essential to optimizing long-term quality of life for survivors.
