Abstract
Studies have shown that diagnosis of head and neck cancer (HNC) at an advanced stage reduces the survival time compared to those diagnosed with limited disease but few have investigated the relationship of characteristics of HNC patients prior to diagnosis and stage at diagnosis. The aim of the study was to compare patients’ stage at diagnosis and their socio-demographic characteristics and experience of the pathway to diagnosis
