Methods: Using National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results (SEER) program, we compared incidence mortality oral cavity, pharynx, larynx between versus racial ethnic subgroups, as well annual percent change 2000-2013. A comparative analysis for different groups stratified by age sex was performed. Survival performed using Kaplan-Meier estimate logistic regression analysis. Results: The pharyngeal, laryngeal cancers were significantly lower Hispanics Non-Hispanics (p < 0.05). decreased at a rate 2.5% annually 0.05), while cavity pharyngeal remained unchanged Hispanics. 1.4 per 100,000, 1.1 1.2 100,000 respectively. Mortality rates Blacks had highest HNCA-related among all HNCA declining Conclusions: appears be is Non-Hispanics.
