Growing occurrence of head and neck cancer and increasing research activities to develop cost-effective treatment options are the factors which are driving growth of the global head and neck cancer market. According to the World Health Organization, 3 - 5% of the population around the globe suffers from head and neck cancer. Moreover, worldwide approximately 550,000 new cases of head and neck cancer are diagnosed annually with almost 300,000 deaths annually. While the cancer can affect people across different age groups, it is especially prevalent among people over 50 years of age. Head and neck cancer is projected to result in 13,360 fatalities (3,420 women and 9,940 men) in 2017. These types of cancers are more than twice as common among men as women.

Increasing geriatric population and rising number of initiatives by government and non-governmental organizations such as Support for People with Oral and Head and Neck Cancer (SPOHNC) creates a highly conducive environment for growth of the global head and neck cancer market.

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.
