Abstract

For patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma the cause of death is not well described in world literature. We report data on 106 patients diagnosed with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma who subsequently died. The literature related to this topic is discussed, and recommendations are made for data collection.
