Highlights • Wide range of outcomes measured to investigate association between head and neck cancer and social deprivation. • Those living in more deprived areas had lower survival and lower health related quality of life following treatment for head and neck cancer. • Despite worse survival in individuals from more deprived regions there was no association between stage at presentation and social deprivation. • Despite no difference in stage at presentation those with lower socio-economic position more likely to be selected for palliative treatment. • There was no association between social deprivation and place of death. • Unmet needs of head and neck cancer patients from deprived areas that needs further investigation and policy consideration.
