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.
