Increased burden of lip, oral, and pharyngeal cancer in adolescents and young adults from 1990 to 2021
The prevalence, incidence and mortality of lip, oral, and other pharyngeal cancer among adolescents vary by country and sex, and the disparities are widening. There is an urgent need to address the changing global burden of cancer in the younger population, tackle the specific vulnerabilities of this age group and the existing inequities. Global health authorities should also take action through specific control planning and appropriate measures.
