• Oral and oropharyngeal cancer will account for up to 31,000 new cancer cases and 8,000 to 9,000 deaths, representing 2% to 3% of all cancer deaths.

• Males are approximately twice as likely as females to be diagnosed with and to die from oral and oropharyngeal cancer.

such photos have been deleted from this online copy of the full slide presentation.
