Abstract: Head and neck cancer (HNC) is a term used to describe malignant tumours originating in the upper aerodigestive tract, including the oral cavity, larynx, pharynx and nasopharynx. Majority (90%) of cancers are squamous cell carcinomas arising from epithelial mucus membrane.1 HNCs are among the ten most frequent cancers and are the sixth most common cancers worldwide. They constitute five percent of all cancers accounting for more than 550,000 cases annually. Incidence rate is more than twice as high in males and is showing an increase in most parts of the world.
