Aim: The Danish head and neck cancer fast-track program is a national standardized patient pathway implemented as part of a legislative initiative in 2007 aiming to improve overall cancer care. The cancer programs were implemented in response to poorer outcomes in Denmark compared to other Scandinavian countries and a heterogeneous diagnostic landscape characterized by regional disparities and long waiting time for both diagnostic work-up and cancer treatment. A core feature is the use of pre-allocated diagnostic and treatment slots reserved for fast track patients, ensuring that individuals with suspected cancer are consistently prioritized. From first referral to start of treatment a maximum of 28 days is allowed for surgery and 32 days for radiotherapy. Hospitals may face sanctions if these deadlines are not met. The aim of this study is to present the organization of the Danish head and neck fast-track program in a tertiary cancer center and our results on waiting time, diagnostic accuracy and malignancy detection rate. Methodology: All patients referred to the head and neck fast-track program at Odense University Hospital with a suspicion of cancer have since 2012 been prospectively registered in a local quality database with information on patient demography, diagnostic methods, treatment type and waiting time. Data was collected from the database for 2012 – 2025. For determination of diagnostic accuracy, medical records were assessed for 2012-2018. Patients suspected of recurrent cancer were excluded. Results: The malignancy detection rate was 36.2%. The frequency of missed cancer in the program was 0.015%. The median time from referral to treatment was 16 (IQR 12-21) days. For surgical treatment 98.8% of patients were treated within 28 days and for radiation 90.5% were treated within 32 days. Conclusion: The Danish fast-track program for head and neck cancer ensures that patients are diagnosed accurately and within the nationally implemented deadlines.
