Abstract:
In 2000, 19,600 new cases of head and neck carcinomas, oral cavity, pharynx and larynx cancer occurred in the French population. In men, these tumours are predominant and represent the 4th cancer incidence rank with 16,855 new cases, and the 5th cancer mortality rank with 6309 deaths. For women, in 2000, the incidence was 2830 new cases with 900 deaths (14th rank among women cancer). The decrease of alcohol and tobacco consumption and the improvement of treatment efficacy explain the decreasing head and neck cancer incidence and mortality in the past decades in France.
