Characteristics of Head and Neck Cancer Patients Referred to an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon in the United States for Management

Conclusion: Our results suggest that patients referred to an oral and maxillofacial surgery practice for management of head and neck cancer are different from those described in previous reports regarding demographics, social history, site, and stage of disease at diagnosis and treatment. This finding may be explained by the unique referral pattern for oral and maxillofacial surgeons treating head and neck cancer.
