Diagnosed head and neck cancer cases in urban China to grow 3.55% annually

The forecast covers newly diagnosed incidence from 2024 to 2034.

Diagnosed incident cases of head and neck cancers in urban China are projected to increase at an annual growth rate of 3.55% between 2024 and 2034, according to forecasts by GlobalData.

The forecast relates specifically to newly diagnosed cases in China’s urban population and excludes prevalence or mortality measures, GlobalData said. The data reflects expected trends in recorded incidence over the ten-year period.

GlobalData’s analysis covers cancers of the oral cavity, pharynx and larynx and is based on diagnosed incident cases rather than overall disease prevalence, providing a measure of new patient identification over time.

The projection indicates a sustained increase in newly diagnosed head and neck cancer cases in urban China through 2034, according to GlobalData’s epidemiological forecast.
