Head and neck cancer incidence is rising but the sociodemographic profile is unchanging: a population epidemiological study (2001–2020)
There have been no significant changes in the sociodemographic profile of HNC in Scotland over the last 20 years, despite the changing trends in HNCs with dramatically increasing incidence rates in OPC and reducing larynx cancer. This information can be used to target or stratify HNC prevention and control.
