Journal Title: Otolaryngologia Polska - Year 2016, Vol 70, Issue 4
Abstract
Objective: Laryngeal cancer is a common respiratory cancer. We aimed to use data from European population-based cancer registries to present variations in the incidence and mortality of laryngeal cancer within Europe. Methods: High-quality data from cancer registries were qualified for analysis. The pooled data were stratified by area, sex and age groups. Results: The incidence and mortality rates of laryngeal cancer has been slightly decreasing for the last 10 years in Poland and other European countries. Laryngeal cancer is relatively rare in people under 40 years of age. Laryngeal cancer is significantly more common in men. Conclusions: Laryngeal cancer it is still a pathology which affects the quality of life of patients in the whole Europe.
