Opportunity Analysis, 2018-2026
Cancer is the uncontrolled and abnormal growth of cells that results in formation of a mass called
tumor. This tumor can be cancerous or benign. Head and neck cancer is the terminology used to define
a number of different malignant tumors that develop in or around the throat, larynx, nose, sinuses, and
mouth. Furthermore, head and neck cancers initiate in squamous cells, cells that line moist surfaces
such as those inside the head and neck (for example, the mouth, nose, and throat). Salivary glands have
different types of cells that can turn cancerous. Chewing tobacco, excessive alcohol consumption, and
infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) increases the risk of head and neck cancer. Other risk
factors for head and neck cancers include excessive consumption of paan (betel quid), preserved or
salted foods, oral health, occupational exposure, radiation exposure, Epstein barr virus infection, and
due to hereditary causes.
According to National Center for Biotechnology Information, head and neck cancer is the sixth-most
common cancer worldwide, with around 630,000 new patients diagnosed every year, in turn resulting
in over 350,000 deaths. Symptoms include a change or hoarseness in the voice, a lump or sore that does
not heal, sore throat that does not go away, and unexplained and prolonged trouble swallowing. Around
75% of head and neck cancers are associated with tobacco use, including smokeless tobacco. Infection
with HPV is a risk factor for some head and neck cancers.
