Global trends and risk factors of laryngeal cancer: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study (1990–2021)

Abstract

From 1990 to 2021, global LC incidence, deaths, and DALYs decreased, although regional disparities persisted. Death rates remain high in economically disadvantaged regions, especially among the elderly and females with occupational risk. Continued efforts to control tobacco use, develop equitable screening programs, and enhance occupational safety are crucial for addressing global disparities in LC outcomes.
