Survival disparities and trend of head and neck cancer in the United States: A Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database study 1973-2010.
“…This initial period has been shown to be a crucial point in the management of HNC. 18,19 In this study, we were able to achieve efficient delivery of treatment recommendations in the study population. The exter-nal validity, as well as the applicability to at-risk populations, is unknown and will need to be determined in future multisite studies.…”

“…This finding may benefit the uninsured and those of African American race, who have been reported to typically have outcomes worse than those of their counterparts. [17][18][19] We propose that our navigation system might help address these disparities by helping patients to access reliable and timely care. Expanded studies in the future will be needed to test this hypothesis.…”
The goal of treatment recommendations for HNC within 2 weeks was shown to be reasonable and attainable. Further research should address the delays encountered by patients with psychosocial barriers and those with synchronous lung nodules.
