Abstract

âº Neighborhood economic deprivation may have a unique effect on cancer outcomes. âº We examine this among head and neck cancer patients from a large treatment center. âº Neighborhood deprivation predicted poorer survival among oropharyngeal patients. âº It also predicted more secondary malignancies among oropharyngeal patients. âº Oropharyngeal cancer patients from deprived areas may need additional interventions.
