Clinical Presentation and Pathological Study of Head and Neck Cancer in Malwa Region of Punjab

Abstract

BACKGROUNDHead and neck cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide, and more than 90% of these tumours are squamous cell carcinomas. Oral cancer is the most common form of cancer and of cancer-related deaths in men in India. Tobacco and alcohol are the two strongest aetiological factors responsible for the development of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, but in contrast younger patients often do not present these traditional risk factors, which leads to suspect other potential risk factors. Its high risk in the Indian subcontinent is related to the popularity of pan-tobacco (a combination of betel leaf, lime, areca nut and sun-cured tobacco) chewing in the region.The objective of this study was aimed at analysing the incidence, aetiology and clinical presentation of head and neck carcinoma in our population and to evaluate the pathological findings and also the TNM staging in patients with head and neck carcinoma.
