Roden D, Daniels K, Metkus J, et al. - Since there is a lack of literature that characterizes outcomes in older adult patients with head and neck cancer (HNC), researchers conducted this retrospective cohort study to describe patients from this group, their adherence to National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) adjuvant treatment guidelines, and the impact of guideline adherence on overall survival. All patients ≥ 80 years old with HNC who had surgery with curative intent from 2008 to 2016 were analyzed. The inclusion criteria were met by 159 patients. Findings revealed that the outcomes of the older adult patient were no different when treatment deviated from the guidelines for NCCN.
