Epidemiological trends of oropharyngeal and oral cavity squamous cell carcinomas in Northern New England, 2000 –2013

ConclusionThe overall incidence of OPSCC is increasing in Northern New England, specifically among men. Given the etiological association between OPSCC and HPV, vaccination against HPV should be effectively encouraged among the populace. The efforts on tobacco cessation, abstinence, and alcohol abuse control should be continually expanded in order to bring about a decreasing trend in OCSCC.
