Correction on: Zheng D, Zhang S, Bidadi B, Lerman N, Song Y, Song R, Li J, Zhu A, Tang Y, Signorovitch J, Merchant S and Hanna GJ (2025) Real-world treatment patterns and clinical outcomes among elderly patients with locoregionally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma in the United States. Front. Oncol. 15:1606990. doi: 10.3389/fonc.2025.1606990 Wrong content There was a mistake in Figure 1 as published. In the patient selection flow chart, the inequality symbols (≥) were incorrectly displayed as question marks (?), which affected the inclusion-criteria text (e.g., "Age ≥ 66 years" and the continuous enrollment criteria). The corrected Figure 1 appears below.

Keywords: event-free survival, Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, locoregionally advanced, Medicare, overall survival, Real world, Treatment patterns
