| Summary, etc. | Abstract: <br/><br/>Background: Head and neck cancer are among the most cancer occurring worldwide with management challenge due to late stage at presentation. Its epidemiology and characteristics are changing from anatomical to biological due to its viral etiological. This study was done to determine the stage at presentation and associated factors for late diagnosis of head and neck malignancies at Bugando Medical Center Mwanza Tanzania.<br/><br/>Method: This was analytical cross section prospective study involving all patients confirmed to have head and neck malignances at Bugando Medical Center from February to June 2019.<br/><br/>Results: A total number of 60 patient (M:F=1.4:1) were studied. The median age was 56 years with symptoms ranging from 1 to 104 weeks at their first consultation. At Bugando Medical Centre, we found, oropharyngealmalignants as the leading (n=18, 30%), larynx (n=15, 31.82%), sinonasal (n=9, 15%), nasopharyngeal and salivary gland each has (n=5, 8.33%), thyroid (n=3, 5%) hypopharyngeal (n=2, 3.33%) and other (n=2, 3.33%). Of those presented with advanced stage, majority had oropharyngeal cancer (n=14, 31.81%), and those with early stage majority had cancer of larynx (n=5, 31.25%). Late stage was observed more among patients coming from rural area (p=0.048) and those using local medicine (p=0.001). Low level of education, and those attended dispensary for their first consultation had advanced stage of disease at presentation. It showed that dispensary was the preferred center for first consultation of the majority<br/><br/>Conclusion: Major cause of delay presentation of head and neck cancer at Bugando Medical Center was attributed by patients themselves whereas health care had small contribution. The main reasons observed were rural settlement, local medication and low level of education.<br/><br/>Recommendations; Training has to be conducted at health care provider in dispensaries and health center on how to suspect patients with Head and Neck Cancer at early stage and refer them direct to tertiary hospital without passing through series of referrals. Patient’s sensitization/ education to increase awareness of Head and Neck Cancer. Early reporting to health care facility once having any swelling in the body, and establish pathology and oncology treatment center to the referral hospitals.<br/> |
