摘要：What is already known about this topic? Oral cavity and pharynx cancers account for 3% of cancers diagnosed annually in the United States; risk factors include tobacco use, excessive alcohol consumption, and HPV infection. What is added by this report? During 2007–2016, incidence of cancers of the oral cavity and pharynx combined increased, despite decreases in those at multiple anatomic sites. The overall increase was driven by increases in HPV-associated cancers of the tonsil, base of tongue, oropharynx, other oral cavity and pharynx, and the gum and anterior tongue. What are the implications for public health practice? Broader application of proven strategies to prevent tobacco use initiation, promote smoking cessation, reduce excessive alcohol consumption, and increase HPV vaccination rates can help reduce the incidence of these cancers.
