Incidence
5 in 100,000 (12,500 new cases per year) in USA. [1] The American Cancer Society estimates that 9,510 men and women (7,700 men and 1,810 women) will be diagnosed with and 3,740 men and women will die of cancer of the larynx in 2006.
Larynx Cancer is listed as a "rare disease" by the Office of Rare Diseases (ORD) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This means that Larynx Cancer, or a subtype of Larynx Cancer, affects less than 200,000 people in the US population. [2]
Each year, about 2,200 people in the UK are diagnosed with cancer of the larynx (laryngeal cancer). [3]
