Base of tongue cancer, a type of oropharyngeal cancer, is relatively rare. The exact number of people affected can vary by region and population, but in the United States, it accounts for about 2-4% of all cancers. According to the American Cancer Society, there were an estimated 54,540 new cases of oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancers combined in 2021, with base of tongue cancer comprising a portion of that figure. For precise statistics, it's best to refer to cancer registries or health organizations.
