Global, Regional, and National Burden of Pharyngeal Cancer and Projections to 2050 in 185 Countries: A Population-Based Systematic Analysis of GLOBOCAN 2022.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pharyngeal cancer has resulted in 3.23 million disability-adjusted life years as of 2019. Based on anatomical site, pharyngeal cancers are categorized into oropharyngeal cancers (OPCs), nasopharyngeal cancers (NPCs), and hypopharyngeal cancers (HPCs). The spatiotemporal distribution of each pharyngeal cancer is related to their respective risk factors.

Methods

Using the latest updated GLOBOCAN 2022 and Cancer Incidence in Five Continents database, global, regional, and national age-standardized incidence rates (ASIRs) and age-standardized mortality rates (ASMRs) of pharyngeal cancer by anatomical site, as well as longitudinal trends since 1998 and future projections to 2050 were investigated across 185 countries and territories. We employed joinpoint regression to
