Oropharyngeal Cancer Incidence and Mortality Trends in All 50 States in the US, 2001-2017.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) incidence is rising among men in the US. Comprehensive assessments of nationwide trends in OPC incidence and mortality by demographics, tumor characteristics at diagnosis, and geography are lacking.

Objective

We examined secular trends in OPC incidence and mortality rates in all 50 US states and the District of Columbia (DC).

Design, setting, and participants

In this cross-sectional study, we used the US Cancer Statistics data set to examine OPC incidence trends from 2001 through 2017. Observed and incidence-based mortality trends were evaluated using data from the National Center for Health Statistics and Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results program, respectively. Data analysis was conducted from January to April 2021.
