Middle Income

The overwhelming majority of head and neck cancers and related deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries, which have challenges related to burden of disease versus access to care. Yet the additional health care burden of the COVID-19 pandemic has also impacted access to care for patients with head and neck cancer in the United States. This article focuses on challenges and innovation in prioritizing head and neck cancer care in Sub-Saharan Africa, the Indian experience of value-added head and neck cancer care in busy and densely populated regions, and strategies to optimize the management of head and neck cancer in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic.

6051 Background: Despite overall decline in cancer mortality, African Americans suffer from higher mortality in most cancer types including cancers of the head and neck. These differences likely result from a complex interplay of clinical and non-clinical factors. We aim to estimate disparities in overall survival across racial groups in HNSCC in the United States. Methods: This study used SEER-Medicare linked database. We identified all patients aged 66 years or older diagnosed with HNSCC as their first cancer from 1992 to 2011. We excluded those in HMO, diagnosed by death certificate or autopsy, non-SCC, unknown race, and missing month and/or year of diagnosis. Further exclusions included metastatic disease, salivary gland cancers, receiving no treatment in the first 180 days, and unknown stage. Analytic data set included oropharynx, oral cavity, nasopharynx, hypopharynx, and larynx. Primary treatment was defined as any treatment modality received within 180 days after diagnosis. Overall survival (OS) parameters were estimated across ethnic groups by the Cox regression model stratified by site and stage of cancer at diagnosis, adjusted for clinical and demographic characteristics, and propensity score weighted. Results: Our study population included 15, 547 patients. Median OS was 3.5 years (95% CI: 3.4-3.7) across all ethnic groups. African Americans (AA) had inferior outcome with median OS of 2.0 years (95% CI: 1.9-2.3) compared to 3.7 years (95% CI: 3.6-3.8) for Caucasian Americans (CA) (p < 0.0001). This difference was seen despite AA patients receiving comparable treatments and presenting at similar stage of disease, except for cancers of the oral cavity where AA were more likely to present with advanced disease (67% versus 47%; P < 0.001). The difference was most pronounced in the oropharynx where median OS was 1.9 years (95% CI: 1.7-2.1) for AA and 3.8 years (95% CI: 3.5-4.1) in CA (P < 0.0001). AA also had consistently worse OS over time from 1992 to 2011. This study clearly demonstrated AA have inferior outcomes despite similar treatments, comorbidities, age at diagnosis, stage at presentation, tumor location, year of diagnosis and sex. Conclusions: The current study demonstrates inferior overall survival for African American head and neck cancer patients independent of primary site and treatment modalities.
