The index for specialized hospital beds for patients with malignant head and neck tumors was found to be 2.6 per 100 000 population. Within a 15-year period an average annual utilization of hospital beds for every 100 patients with lip cancer rated 7.2 beds, with cancer of the tongue--22.4, salivary glands--11.7, oral mucosa--19.7, pharynx--15.6, nose and sinuses--15.3, larynx--20.7, jaw--20.9, skin--5.3.
