It is sixth most prevalent neoplasms in the world. Approximately 900 000 cases diagnosed worldwide per year. It has good prognosis when timely diagnosed and treated appropriately.  \nMethods: This was a retrospective study carried out in the Department of ENT-HNS of Shree Birendra Hospital, Chhauni, Kathmandu from May 2022 to April 2023 . All histopathologically proven malignant cases of head and neck region were included in the study. Data were entered in Microsoft excel and managed in SPSS version 22 . Analysis was done in the form of percentage and proportion and represented as table where necessary. The study has been registerd in clinical trials and has been reported in line with the STROCSS criteria.  \nResults: Total 76 patients were analyzed. Age ranged from 17 to 84 years and the most common age group presenting with head and neck cancer was 61–80 years. The most common malignancy was laryngeal cancer (34%) followed by thyroid malignancies (29%) . Squamous cell carcinoma was the commonest histological type (48%) . Surgery with postoperative radiotherapy (RT)/ radioactive iodine (RAI) was found to be the commonest treatment modality.  \nConclusions: Head and neck cancers are not uncommon and majority of patients present late with advanced stage cancer. Hence, public awareness, early diagnosis with cost-effective treatment and regular follow-up are needed to improve outcomes of these patients in our society.  \nKeywords: chemotherapy, head and neck carcinoma, radiotherapy  \nIntroduction  \nHead and neck cancer is common in several parts of the world. It is the sixth most prevalent neoplasms in the world[1] . Approximately 900 000 cases diagnosed worldwide per year[2] . It has good prognosis when timely diagnosed and treated appropriately. Head and neck cancers are the malignant neoplasms that develops in oral cavity, nasal cavities, paranasal sinuses, nasopharynx, oropharynx, hypopharynx, ear, scalp, salivary gland and neck[3] . Worldwide head and neck cancer accounts for nearly 900 000 cases and over 400 000 deaths annually[2] . Males are affected more than female with the ratio of 2:1–4:1[2] .
