Risk Factors for Developing Neck and Head Cancer

Updated: Nov 22, 2021

For most people with neck and head cancers, it’s due to exposure to high-risk activities. Risk factors that increase your chances of developing head and neck cancers include:




  • Prolonged exposure to sunlight, which makes you more likely to develop skin cancer

  • Drinking alcohol, chewing tobacco, smoking cigars, or smoking cigarettes increases your risk of developing tongue, throat, mouth, or voice box cancer

  • Throat cancer can be caused by HPV (Human Papillomavirus)
