Spain laryngeal cancer mortality drops in men but rises in women over 55
A study published in 'Acta Otorrinolaringológica Española' reveals significant shifts in laryngeal cancer mortality in Spain between 1999 and 2023. Based on data from the National Statistics Institute (INE), the research analyzed 36,598 deaths.
Laryngeal cancer mortality among men has dropped by more than 60%, falling from 12.10 to 4.76 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants. This decline is attributed to changing tobacco consumption habits over recent decades.
In contrast, mortality rates among women have remained relatively stable overall, but show a concerning trend: while mortality is decreasing among younger women, it is rising significantly in women over the age of 55. Dr. Serafín Sánchez, president of the Spanish Society of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery (SEORL-CCC), noted that these findings highlight how the health impacts of smoking can manifest many years after exposure.
