Oral cancer is a debilitating disease. Regional and rural patients may have to traverse a myriad of health services to receive their diagnosis and treatment. Services may be provided by the general practitioner, dentist, surgeon, radiation oncologist or oncologist across the public and private sectors. One such region in South West Victoria has its main cancer health service situated in Geelong which can be quite a distance from the rural and remote areas of the region. Our study, with the assistance of the Evaluation of Cancer Outcomes Barwon South West (ECOBSW) Registry, retrospectively reports statistics to provide an overview of treatment interventions and outcomes. All newly diagnosed oral cancer patients from 2009 to 2016 were included, with the goal of identifying any areas where improvement in services may be provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
