Are autopsies useful? Do premorbid findings predict postmortem results in head and neck cancer patients?

C R Jennings1, P J Bradley.   

Abstract

A total of 53 autopsies were analysed in patients with head and neck squamous carcinoma. The discordance rate, that is the proportion of autopsies that revealed new information, was 53%. One-third of patients did not die of cancer. Clinical findings either misdiagnosed or under-diagnosed loco regional disease in 34% of cases, and distant malignant disease in 36% of cases. It appears that the autopsy reveals new and useful information in the head and neck cancer patient, and consent should be sought.
