Abstract
Accidents which happened to patients seventy years of age or over with head and neck cancer from 1972 to 1984 were reviewed. Six patients had bone fracture and one patient had a scalp wounded due to a fall. Two patients showed abnormal behavior caused by psychoneurologic diseases. All accidents happened to patients who were hospitalized more than two months. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy have become more popular treatment for head and neck cancer. They require long hospitalization.
The increase in the number of accidents to elderly patients was predicted.
