“…In the previous studies, married younger patients were found to have significant better outcomes than unmarried ones in some other cancers, including breast cancer, multiple myeloma, and oral cavity cancer. [20][21][22][23] But, a latest study focused on differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) showed the impact of marital status on survival varied with age, which was similar to our results. 24 It is well known that the prognosis of thyroid cancer is usually better in younger patients than older ones, thus we suggest that there is an interaction between age and marital status.…”

“…More specifically, Xu et al found a survival benefit in non-Hispanic white and Chinese American patients, with unmarried groups having significantly poorer CSS/OS [12]. A primary explanation for the relationship between marital status and improved cancer survival outcomes is the social/family support and monitoring from the spouse [15,16]. Spouses may encourage their partners to obtain more aggressive treatment, provide emotional aid, and enhance caregiving.…”

Objective: This study aimed to explore the influence of social support on the survival outcomes of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). We examined whether the combined proxy influenced whether patients were more likely to receive radiotherapy. Methodology: data were collected from the 18 registries of the National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. The association between both insurance status and marital status and disease-specific survival rates were evaluated with a multivariate Cox proportional-hazards regression model to calculate the hazard ratios and associated confidence intervals. Odds ratio (OR) computed by logistic regression was also used to examine the relationship between the receipt of radiotherapy and insurance and marital status. Results: insured and uninsured patients differed significantly in T-stage, N-stage, M-stage, radiotherapy use, race, and marital status. The uninsured-non-married patients showed the lowest 5-year disease-specific survival rates. We further found unmarried patients with either Medicaid (OR, 0.40), or no insurance (OR, 0.24) had lower odds of receiving radiotherapy than those with insurance at diagnosis. Conclusions: uninsured-unmarried NPC patients had a significantly higher risk of distant metastasis at diagnosis, poorer 5-year disease-specific survival, and were less likely to receive radiotherapy than insured-married patients.

“…Previous studies assessing the effect of marriage on outcomes showed that marriage was associated with better survival, and the protective effect of marriage might result from that married people were associated with earlier stage and more likely to receive recommended or aggressive treatment，which was known as “spousal surveillance” 20‐25 . In addition, married patients were considered to have more financial and emotional support, which may account for the results that being unmarried resulted in the higher early mortality probability 26‐28 . This finding would probably indicate importance of an emotional support network, helping patients cope with the initial “shock” of a very serious malignancy.…”

Oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) is one of the most frequent head and neck cancers, accounting for 20% of these cancers. [1][2][3] Approximately 24% to 55% of the patients were reported to have locally advanced disease at presentation, and the 5-year overall survival is 15% to 45%. 4,5 The primary therapeutic strategy for patients has been surgery, and systemic therapy has been reserved based on a multitude of factors.With the development of treatment strategies, the survival of patients with OTSCC has been significantly improved. However, seldom study looked into the patients who died early after diagnosis. Patients with high risk of early death should be timely identified so that individualised treatments and/or supportive care can be scheduled to improve their survival and life quality. Therefore, the aim of this study is to assess the early mortality rate and associated factors for early death in a large cohort of patients with OTSCC.
