Surgery for Head and Neck Cancer in the Elderly: Decision-making and Determinants of Outcome

Improvements in cancer treatments have significantly extended the survival rate of patients in the last few years. However, this has also caused patients to experience adverse effects for an extended period. Particularly in head and neck cancer, patients experience mucositis, swallowing dysfunction, neck disability, fibrosis, dental decay, and a change in physical appearance as a side effect of the treatment.
