We would like to share ideas on the publication “Fewer head and neck cancer (HNC) diagnoses and faster treatment initiation during COVID-19 in 2020: a nationwide population-based analysis [1].” Schoonbeek et al. noted that “the incidence of HNC during the Netherlands' first COVID-19 wave was significantly lower than … healthcare system, the standard treatment for HNC patients could be delivered within a shorter time interval [1].” We concur that there might be a change due to COVID-19. The change of incidence might be due to difficulty of healthcare facilities assessment during COVID-19 lockdown.
