Epidemiology of Head and Neck Cancers in Northern Iran: A 10-Year Trend Study From Golestan Province.

CONCLUSION: We found relatively high rates of larynx cancer in Golestan province. Our results also showed higher rates of HNSCC in males and urban population. Considering common risk factors between HNSCCs and esophageal cancer, further studies are needed to clarify different aspects of HNSCCs (including epidemiology and risk factors) in this high-risk population.
