Abstract
Opinion statement The epidemiology of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) has shifted dramatically over the last 50 years, as smoking-related HNSCCs decrease in incidence while human papillomavirus (HPV)-related cancers rise. The shift in HNSCC risk factors has changed patient demographics, the distribution of affected anatomical subsites, and prognosis of this illness. As such, the medical community has responded by devising novel staging systems and prevention strategies. The medical community will require continued vigilance in reducing HNSCC traditional risks factors for HNSCC, such as cigarette use, and emerging risk like HPV infection.Keywords
