Development and validation of a new comorbidity index for patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma in Japan
Abstract Due to habitual drinking and smoking and advanced age at diagnosis, patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) frequently present with comorbidities. Several comorbidity indices have been developed and validated for HNSCC. However, none have become the standard method. In t...
