Global Head and Neck Cancers Market with business strategies and analysis to 2024
Head and neck cancers (HNCs) are a heterogeneous group, consisting of cancers of the mouth, including the lip, tongue, gum, floor of mouth, palate, and other parts of mouth; the salivary glands; the pharynx, including the tonsil, oropharynx, nasopharynx, pyriform fossa, hypopharynx, other mouth/pharynx; the nose, sinuses, and related structures; the larynx; and the thyroid. HNCs usually begin in the squamous cells that line the moist mucosal surfaces of the tissues and organs of the head and neck — more than 80% of all HNCs are squamous cell carcinomas. HNCs are common in several regions across the globe and account for 600,000 new cases annually worldwide.
