    Description / Table of Contents: Summary The interval between the onset of symptoms in patients with head and neck cancers and the introduction of treatment was evaluated. During a 1-year period, patients were interviewed to determine the duration of any delays from the onset of complaints until the first visit to a doctor. Also asked was how long it took to be referred to an ENT specialist and actual referral to our department. We then determined the interval from diagnosis to the introduction of therapy. It was found that the delay of patients who went directly to an otorhinolaryngologist was shorter (median, 8 weeks) than that of patients who first went to their family doctors (median, 13 weeks) (P〈0.02). The latter then took an additional 4 weeks before sending patients to an otorhinolaryngologist. Referral from the ENT specialist to our department took another 2 weeks, as well as our staging and pre-therapeutic management. Our findings show that the patient himself is the critical factor in delaying diagnosis and therapy. Tumor patients with greater professional qualification went to their doctors earlier (P〈0.0001) or more often went directly to an ENT specialist (P〈0.002). Consultations of physicians without experience in otorhinolaryngology caused yet further delays.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Wir untersuchten die Zeitspanne zwischen Symptom- und Therapiebeginn bei Karzinomen im Kopf-Hals-Bereich. Es wurden 1 Jahr lang alle Patienten, die wegen eines Karzinoms in unsere Klinik kamen, nach dem Zeitpunkt des Einsetzens der Beschwerden und des ersten Arztbesuchs befragt, nach der Zeit bis zur fachärztlichen Untersuchung und bis zur Überweisung in unsere Klinik, und wir ermittelten die Zeitspanne bis zum Therapiebeginn. Es zeigte sich, daß Patienten, die direkt einen HNO-Arzt aufsuchten, weniger Zeit vom Einsetzen der Symptome bis zum ersten Arztbesuch (im Mittel 8 Wochen) verstreichen ließen als die Patienten, die zunächst ihren hausärztlich tätigen Arzt aufsuchten (im Mittel 13 Wochen) (p〈0,02). Dieser überwies im Durchschnitt nach 4 Wochen an einen HNO-Arzt. HNO-Ärzte wiesen im Durchschnitt nach 2 Wochen in unsere Klinik ein, die dann wiederum 2 Wochen für Staging und vorbereitende Behandlungen benötigte, bis die Therapie beginnen konnte. Entscheidend für die Verzögerung zwischen Auftreten der Symptome und Therapie ist demnach der Patient. Hat der Tumorpatient eine höhere berufliche Qualifikation, suchte er schneller einen Arzt auf (p〈0,0001) und häufiger direkt einen HNO-Arzt (p〈0,002). Außerdem wirkte die Konsultation von Ärzten ohne Weiterbildung in HNO-Heilkunde verzögernd.

    Notes: Abstract Specifications about the sizes of normal salivary glands are not available. We used ultrasonography to determine the sizes of the submandibular and parotid glands in 50 subjects, who were not suffering from diseases of the salivary glands. Volunteers were distributed equally concerning sex and age. Body weight did not differ more than 20% from ideal weight. Dimensions of the submandibular glands were: anterior-posterior length, 35 ± 5.7 mm; paramandibular extension to gland depth, 14.3 ± 5.7 mm; extension in frontal scanning, 33.7 ± 5.4 mm. The parotid glands measured 46.3 ± 7.7 mm in the axis parallel to the mandibular ramus and 37.4 ± 5.6 mm in a transverse axis. The extensions of the parotid parenchyma were 7.4 ± 1.7 mm lateral to the mandible and 22.8 ± 3.6 mm dorsal to the mandible.
