Article Synopsis
- Head and neck cancers are highly prevalent in southern Thailand, particularly with a high proportion (66.6%) of patients presenting at advanced stages (III and IV).
- In a study analyzing 1,186 patients treated between 2002-2004, five-year overall survival rates varied by cancer type, with the highest (38.0%) in laryngeal cancer and the lowest (19.2%) in hypopharyngeal cancer.
- Key prognostic factors include cancer stage and treatment type, with patients aged 80 and above facing poorer outcomes, highlighting the need for early detection and optimized treatment strategies.
