Materials and methods: The data of clinical files of patients diagnosed between 2011 and 2013 was collected. The variables analyzed included age, gender, tobacco and alcohol consumption, initial symptoms, referral patterns, site of disease, histology, stage and treatment. The results were analyzed by descriptive and exploratory statistics, using SPSS Statistics 17. Results: 187 new cases of head and neck cancer were diagnosed. 82,4% were men, aged 60,9 years, 61,6% were smokers, 56,9% were drinkers and 45,5% presented hoarseness. Primary site of tumor was usually larynx (43,9%) and squamous cell carcinoma made up 76,5% of the lesions.

Even though, their clinical and epidemiological characteristics are very distinguishing. |
