This year, more than 63,000 Americans will develop cancer of the head and neck (most of which is preventable). More than 13,000 of them will die from it. As many as 90 percent of head and neck cancers arise after prolonged exposure to specific risk factors. Use of tobacco (cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco, or snuff) and alcoholic beverages are the most common cause of cancers of the mouth, throat, voice box, and tongue. In adults who do not smoke or drink, cancer of the throat can occur as a result of infection with the human papilloma virus (HPV). Prolonged exposure to sunlight is linked with cancer of the lip and is also established as a major cause of skin cancer.
Facial reconstruction, including microvascular reconstruction, may be required to treat patients who have undergone head and neck cancer removal.
