Risk Prediction Models for Head and Neck Cancer in the US Population from the INHANCE Consortium. American Journal of Epidemiology, 189(4), 330-342. PMCID: PMC7274188Abstract
Head and neck cancer (HNC) risk prediction models based on risk factor profiles have not yet been developed. We took advantage of the large database including 14 studies (1981-2010) in the US from the International Head and Neck Cancer Epidemiology (INHANCE) Consortium to develop risk prediction models. Seventy percent of the data were used to develop HNC risk prediction models; the remaining 30% were used to validate the models. We used competing risk models to calculate absolute risks. The predictors included age, sex, education, race/ethnicity, alcohol drinking intensity, cigarette smoking duration and intensity or family history of HNC. The 20-year absolute HNC risk was 7.61% for a 60-year-old woman who smoked >20 cigarettes/day for >20 years, drank 3+ alcoholic drinks/day, was a high school graduate, with family history of HNC and was non-Hispanic White. The 20-year risk for men with a similar profile was 6.85%. The absolute risks of oropharyngeal and hypopharyngeal cancers were generally lower than those of oral cavity and laryngeal cancers. The AUC statistics were 0.70 or higher except for oropharyngeal cancer in men. The HNC risk prediction model may be useful in promoting healthier behaviors such as smoking cessation, or in aiding individuals with family history of HNC to evaluate their risks.URL
