Global Burden of Head and Neck Cancer: Economic Consequences, Health, and the Role of Surgery

Key Points

Key points are not available for this paper at this time.

Abstract

The mortality burden of head and neck cancer is increasing and disproportionately affects those in low- and middle-income countries and regions with limited surgical workforces. This imbalance results in large and growing economic losses in countries that already face significant resource constraints. Urgent investment in the surgical workforce is necessary to ensure access to timely surgical services and reverse these negative trends.
