In India, oral cancer is the most common head and neck cancer (HNC) in men,
mainly caused by the consumption of smoked and smokeless tobacco. During the
current pandemic, delaying surgery for even 1 or 2 months may lead to more
extensive surgery or inoperability, where only supportive care can be provided.
Being semi-emergent in nature, treatment for these patients is currently on hold
or delayed in most centers across the country. This study was conducted to assess
the impact of COVID-19 pandemic and inability of the health system to treat HNC
in a timely fashion and how surgeons are coping to this emergent situation. This
article highlights the situation in India, a country burdened with one of the
highest incidence rates of HNC.
