Objectives To evaluate the impact of time to treatment initiation (TTI) on overall survival in
patients with head-and-neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Materials and methods In …

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to identify trends and predictors of the time to
treatment initiation (TTI) for patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) …

Purpose To estimate the overall survival (OS) impact from increasing time to treatment
initiation (TTI) for patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Methods …

Objectives To quantify the effect that time to initiation of treatment after diagnosis has on the
outcomes of patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Methods This …

Introduction Waiting to start treatment has been shown to be associated with tumor
progression and upstaging in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs). This …

Head and neck cancers (HNC) have a poor prognosis and a long treatment delay may have
a negative impact on this. Some studies have investigated the determinants of this delay but …

Importance Delay in time to treatment initiation (TTI) can alter survival and oncologic
outcomes. There is a need to characterize these consequences and identify risk factors and …

BACKGROUND Time to treatment initiation (TTI) is increasing and is associated with
worsening survival. In the current study, the authors sought to identify a mechanism for this …

Background Treatment durations and factors associated with delays for oral cavity
squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) have previously been described but are not fully …

Objective The increasing volume of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC)
patients can lead to longer intervals between histopathological diagnosis and primary …
