Head and neck cancers include neoplasms of the oral cavity, pharynx, and larynx. The risk
of these cancers is strongly associated with smoking and alcohol ingestion. There have
been important advances in understanding of the molecular pathogenesis and progression
of head and neck cancer and also in approaches to therapy, which include innovations in
surgery, radiation therapy, and cytotoxic-drug therapy.
