Impact of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th waves of the COVID-19 pandemic on wait times in head and neck cancer: A retrospective study in a French expert center
Background
Treatment delay in head and neck cancer is a major problem, with impact on survival. The COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic, evolving in waves around the world, caused diagnostic and therapeutic delays in certain cancers. The main objective of the present study was to analyze whether there was a change in wait times during three successive waves in our center.
Method
This was a single-center retrospective study of patients with a first diagnosis of head and neck cancer. Three groups, corresponding to waves 2, 3 and 4, were compared to a control group corresponding to a pre-pandemic period. Study data comprised median times between first consultation and tumor board meeting (C1-TB) and between tumor board meeting and treatment (TB-T). The significance threshold was set at P < 0.005.
Results
Ninety-six patients were included in the control group, and 154 in the “waves 2-3-4” group. There was no increase in C1-TB interval (respectively 35 and 26 days, P = 0.046) or TB-T interval (respectively 27 and 28 days, P = 0.723).
Conclusion
Intervals between first consultation and tumor board meeting and between tumor board meeting and treatment did not increase during the 2nd, 3rd and 4th waves of COVID-19 in our center.

European Annals of Oto-rhino-laryngology, Head and Neck diseases heir of one of the oldest otorhinolaryngology journals in Europe is the official organ of the French Society of Otorhinolaryngology (SFORL) and the the International Francophone Society of Otorhinolaryngology (SIFORL). Today six annual issues provide original peer reviewed clinical and research articles, epidemiological studies, new methodological clinical approaches and review articles giving most up-to-date insights in all areas of otology, laryngology rhinology, head and neck surgery. The European Annals also publish the SFORL guidelines and recommendations.The journal is a unique two-armed publication: the European Annals (ANORL) is an English language well referenced online journal (e-only) whereas the Annales Françaises d’ORL (AFORL), mail-order paper and online edition in French language are aimed at the French-speaking community. French language teams must submit their articles in French to the AFORL site.
Federating journal in its field, the European Annals has an Editorial board of experts with international reputation that allow to make an important contribution to communication on new research data and clinical practice by publishing high-quality articles.
