Abstract: Objective The Objective of this study was to analyze the mortality and changing trend of head and neck cancer(nasopharyngeal cancer,laryngeal cancer,thyroid cancer,and oral cancer)in cancer registry areas of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region from 2010 to 2020,and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of head and neck cancer in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Methods The mortality data for head and neck cancers(nasopharyngeal cancer,laryngeal cancer,thyroid cancer,and oral cancers)in the tumor registration database of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region from 2010 to 2020 were sorted out,and the China standard mortality of head and neck were calculated by gender,urban and rural areas,and cancer types.The average annual percentage change(AAPC)was analyzed using Joinpoint 4.9.1.0 software to assess the trend of China standard mortality of head and neck cancers and cancer types. Results The China standard mortality of head and neck cancers in cancer registry areas of Inner Mongolia was 2.85/100,000.The China standard mortality of males(4.24/100,000)was higher than that of females(1.53/100,000),and the China standard mortality in rural areas(2.93/100,000)was higher than that in urban areas(2.79/100,000).The China standard mortality of oral cancer was the highest at 1.16/100,000,and the China standard mortality of nasopharyngeal cancer was the lowest at 0.42/100,000.From 2010 to 2020,the mortality of head and neck cancers increased by an average annual rate of 3.79%(95% CI:1.45%-6.17%),and the trend was statistically significant(P=0.005).The mortality of male head and neck cancer increased by an annual rate of 7.27%(95% CI:3.05%-11.65%),and the trend was statistically significant(P=0.003).The mortality of females decreased by an average annual rate of 1.08%(95% CI:-4.51%-2.47%),and the trend was not statistically significant(P=0.500).The mortality of oral cancer showed an upward trend with an AAPC of 7.35%(P=0.040),and the mortality of laryngeal cancer,thyroid cancer and nasopharyngeal cancer showed no statistically significant trend(AAPC was 3.36%,1.38% and-0.36%,respectively,P＞0.05). Conclusion The mortality of head and neck cancer in cancer registry areas of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region showed an upward trend from 2010 to 2020.The prevention and treatment of head and neck cancer should be paid to attention,with rural areas and male groups as the key prevention and control targets.The control measures should be strengthened for high-risk behaviors such as occupational exposure and alcohol consumption,oral cancer prevention and control should be focused on,and HPV vaccination and tobacco control policies should be strengthened.
