Abstract

Oral and pharyngeal cancers are the sixth most common cancers internationally. In the United States, there are about 30,000 new cases of oral and pharyngeal cancers diagnosed each year. Furthermore, survival rates for oral and pharyngeal cancers have not significantly improved over the last three decades. This review examines the scientific literature surrounding the epidemiology of oral and pharyngeal cancers, including but not limited to risk factors, disparities, preventative factors, and the epidemiology in countries outside the United States. The literature review revealed that much of the research in this field has been focused on alcohol, tobacco, and their combined effects on oral and pharyngeal cancers. The literature on oral and pharyngeal cancer disparities among racial groups also appears to be growing. However, less literature is available on the influence of dietary factors on these cancers. Finally, effective interventions for the reduction of oral and pharyngeal cancers are discussed.

口腔癌和咽喉癌流行病学综述:最新进展。
口腔癌和咽癌是国际上第六大最常见的癌症。在美国,每年大约有3万例新的口腔癌和咽癌确诊病例。此外,在过去三十年中,口腔癌和咽癌的生存率没有显著提高。本综述回顾了有关口腔癌和咽癌流行病学的科学文献,包括但不限于危险因素、差异、预防因素和美国以外国家的流行病学。文献综述显示,该领域的大部分研究都集中在酒精、烟草及其对口腔癌和咽癌的综合影响上。关于口腔癌和咽喉癌在种族群体中的差异的文献似乎也在增长。然而,关于饮食因素对这些癌症的影响的文献较少。最后,有效的干预措施,减少口腔癌和咽癌的讨论。
