Seattle, WA -- (SBWire) -- 09/20/2019 --Cancer is the uncontrolled and abnormal growth of cells that results in formation of a mass called tumor. This tumor can be cancerous or benign. Head and neck cancer is the terminology used to define a number of different malignant tumors that develop in or around the throat, larynx, nose, sinuses, and mouth. Furthermore, head and neck cancers initiate in squamous cells, cells that line moist surfaces such as those inside the head and neck (for example, the mouth, nose, and throat). Salivary glands have different types of cells that can turn cancerous. Chewing tobacco, excessive alcohol consumption, and infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) increases the risk of head and neck cancer. Other risk factors for head and neck cancers include excessive consumption of paan (betel quid), preserved or salted foods, oral health, occupational exposure, radiation exposure, Epstein barr virus infection, and due to hereditary causes.

According to National Center for Biotechnology Information, head and neck cancer is the sixth-most common cancer worldwide, with around 630,000 new patients diagnosed every year, in turn resulting in over 350,000 deaths. Symptoms include a change or hoarseness in the voice, a lump or sore that does not heal, sore throat that does not go away, and unexplained and prolonged trouble swallowing. Around 75% of head and neck cancers are associated with tobacco use, including smokeless tobacco. Infection with HPV is a risk factor for some head and neck cancers.

Need for effective and targeted treatment is critical to increase the survival rates

Treatment of head and neck cancer is a major challenge for physicians, as the affectivity and choice of treatment varies from patient to patient and location of the tumor. Owing to complexity of facial structures and functions limits the surgical treatments for head and neck cancers, with surgery being the preferred mode of treatment. Post-surgery, functions such as chewing, talking, and swallowing may be adversely affected. Physicians opt for surgical therapy in combination with radiation therapy for treatment of the malady. Survival rate of head and neck cancer has reduced from 80% to 50% in last ten years, as currently available treatment options mainly treat the symptoms. Recent developments in the area of advanced chemotherapy and radiotherapy permit preserving some of the functions of the face. The introduction of targeted molecular therapy such as gene therapy, monoclonal antibodies, and antibody drug conjugates creates major growth avenues for the head and neck cancer market.
