Background
There is substantial variation in head and neck cancer (HNC) mortality and competing mortality among patients with HNC. In this study, the authors characterize the causes and risks of short‐term mortality among patients with oropharynx cancer (OPC) and how these risks differ by human papillomavirus (HPV) status.
Methods
A custom Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) data...
