The most recent UK statistics show that 11,449 new cases of head and neck cancer are diagnosed every year, with over 2,000 lives lost per year in the UK (www.mouthcancer.org; www.cancerresearch.org). This is more than lives lost in road traffic accidents, testicular cancer and cervical cancer combined (www.mouthcancer.org). Diagnoses of mouth cancer have risen by 30% since the 1990s and it is predicted that incidences will rise by another 33% by 2035.
