Abstract
Background/Aims: Head and neck cancer treatment practices and outcomes vary from institution to institution. Other than survival data, there has been no established method to evaluate an institution’s quality of cancer care. To address this issue, the American Head and Neck Society (AHNS) developed quality guidelines for head and neck cancer care based on systematic literature review and expert opinion. These guidelines represent critical aspects of accepted standards of oral cancer care, and the presence or absence of these measures is most likely to affect the overall outcome regardless of patient comorbidity. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the quality of oral tongue cancer care at our institution and validate these established quality measures.
