Head and Neck Cancer (HNC) - Epidemiology Forecast - 2032

This Head and Neck Cancer (HNC)- Epidemiology Forecast-2032 report delivers an in-depth understanding of HNC historical and forecasted epidemiology as well as the epidemiology trends in the United States, EU5 (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom), and Japan.

Head and Neck Cancer (HNC) Understanding

Head and Neck Cancer (HNC) Overview

Head and Neck Cancer (HNC) usually begins in the squamous cells - often referred to as squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck - that line the mucosal surfaces of the head and neck (for example, those inside the mouth, throat, and voice box. They can also begin in the salivary glands, sinuses, muscles, or nerves, but they are less common than squamous cell carcinomas. HNC begins in several places in the head and throat, excluding brain or eye cancer.

The types of HNC include laryngeal cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, hypopharyngeal cancer, nasal cavity, and paranasal sinus cancer, salivary gland cancer, oral cancer, oropharyngeal cancer and tonsil cancer. Histologically, progression to invasive HNSCC follows an ordered series beginning with epithelial cell hyperplasia, followed by dysplasia (mild, moderate, and severe), carcinoma in situ, and, ultimately, invasive carcinoma.

Head and Neck Cancer (HNC) Diagnosis

There are many tests used for diagnosing HNC. The doctor may consider these factors when choosing a diagnostic test:

• The type of cancer suspected
• Signs and symptoms
• Age and general health
• The results of earlier medical tests

If a person has symptoms and signs of HNC, the doctor will take a complete medical history, noting all symptoms and risk factors. In addition, the following tests may be used to diagnose HNC:

 

Physical examination/blood and urine tests

During a physical examination, the doctor feels for any lumps on the neck, lips, gums, and cheeks. The doctor will also inspect the nose, mouth, throat, and tongue for abnormalities, often using a light and a mirror for a clearer view. Blood tests and urine tests may be done to help diagnose cancer.

Endoscopy

An endoscopy allows the doctor to see inside the body with a thin, lighted, flexible tube called an endoscope. The person may be sedated as the tube is gently inserted through the nose into the throat and down the esophagus to examine the head and neck. The examination has different names depending on the area of the body examined, such as laryngoscopy to view the larynx, pharyngoscopy to view the pharynx, or nasopharyngoscopy to view the nasopharynx. A combination of these procedures is referred to as a panendoscopy.

Head and Neck Cancer (HNC) Epidemiology Perspective

The disease epidemiology covered in the report provides historical as well as forecasted epidemiology segmented by Total Incident Cases of HNC, Molecular Stage-specific Incident Cases of HNC, Site-specific Incident Cases of HNC, HPV-specific Incident Cases of HNC, and Molecular Alteration-specific Incident Cases of HNC scenario in the 7MM covering the United States, EU-5 countries (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom), and Japan from 2019 to 2032.

Head and Neck Cancer Cancer (HNC) Detailed Epidemiology Segmentation

• In 2021, the total incident cases of HNC in the 7MM countries were ~158,000, and these cases are anticipated to increase during the study period.
• Among the European countries, Germany had the highest number of incident cases of HNC in 2021, i.e., ~20,000 cases, followed by France which had ~16,000 incident cases in 2021. On the other hand, Italy had the lowest incident cases of HNC, i.e. ~9900 cases in 2021. Japan had ~20,000 incident cases of HNC in 2021.
• The analysis from 2021 suggests that the stage-specific incident cases of Head and Neck Cancer (HNC) in the US were maximum for regional, at ~30,000 cases, followed by localized with ~21,000 cases, distant with ~11,000 cases, and ~3,000 cases of the unknown stage.
• In 2021, the molecular alteration-specific incident cases of HNC in the US were maximum for TP53 at ~47,000 cases followed by CCND1, PIK3CA, NOTCH1, KMT2D, EGFR, NSD1, FGFR1, and HRAS mutations that had ~18,000 cases; ~14,000 cases; ~12,400 cases; ~12,000 cases; ~10,000 cases; ~6,500 cases; ~5,700 cases; and ~3,300 cases respectively.
• In 2021, the HPV status-specific incident cases of Head and Neck Cancer (HNC) in the US were maximum for HPV negative at ~40,000 cases followed by HPV positive at ~23,000 cases. By 2032, HPV status-specific incident cases of HNC are expected to increase significantly.
