Aim This study sought to assess the incidence of oral and pharyngeal cancer based on ICD ‐10 in Guilan, Iran, from 2004 to 2009. Method This retrospective study assessed data collected from the Iranian cancer registries and publications. The rate, age‐standardized incidence, type, and location of lesions according to ICD ‐10 were evaluated. Annual percent changes ( APC ) were estimated. Results A total of 1533 head and neck cancers were recorded. Of them, 290 cases (185 males and 105 females) were identified with oral and pharyngeal carcinoma ( ICD 00‐14) with a mean age of 58.92 ± 17.94 years. The most common type of cancer was oral squamous cell carcinoma ( n = 156). Cancer of the oropharynx ( ICD 06) and lips ( ICD 00) had high incidence. APC was 1.36%. ASR was 3.5 and 2.04 per 100 000 among males and females, respectively. The mean crude rate was 3.69 per 1 000 000. Conclusion In contrast to the global cancer statistics ( ICD 00‐14), Guilan showed lower incidence of oral and pharyngeal cancer during the understudy years. Oral squamous cell carcinoma was the most common type of cancer in this region.
