The Male were affected more than the female.The median age of occurrence was 53 years. The most commonly affected age group was 41-60 years (52.45%). Among all the head and neck cancer, Tongue cancer was the most common (28.26%) followed by Buccal Mucosa (19.02%).We found a strong association between the use of tobacco (bhang) and Head & neck cancer. Conclusion:Oral cavity cancers are the most common head and neck cancer and the incidence among the male are more and are associated with tobacco chewing habit.
