Abstract
An audit of head and neck cancer cases is a need based study to find its incidence as compared to other total body malignancies. Material and Methods: This is an Institutional retrospective analysis which was done at curie Manavata Cancer Centre in northern Maharashtra, Western part of India from 14th May 2007 to 21st September 2014. Total cases operated at the centre were 14368 out of which 1802 were head and neck cancers. Results: Incidence of Head & Neck cancer cases in our 7 years study contributes around 11.1%. Males are more affected for Head & Neck cancer than females contributing for around 82.01% followed by females, which is around 17.9%. Oral cavity malignancies contribute around 76.6% out of all head & neck cancer cases followed by larynx which is around 11.48%. The least affected is caner of cheek which is around 0.01%. Tongue cancers are more commonly affected which is around 33.4% followed by Buccal mucosa which is 29.77%, Alveolus is 8.71%, Tonsil is 2.9 % , Palate is 2.66% and least is RMT which is around 0.1%. The mortality rate is high in buccal mucosa (32.35%) followed by tongue (27.4%) and then alveolus which is around 25.1%.Conclusion: This retrospective study hopes to quantify and analyze the spectrum of Head and neck cancer out of the other total body malignancies. A tremendous effort is needed to identify such high prevalence and incidence, generate awareness and establish treatment modalities to meet this challenging statistical analysis.
