Abstract

There is a growing awareness of the important relationships between systemic inflammatory diseases, infections, genetic disorders, medical therapies and cancer risk. A number of systemic disorders have been associated with an increased risk of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. These include autoimmune conditions, genetic syndromes, infections, iatrogenic causes such as haematopoietic stem cell transplantation and graft-versus-host disease and rare associations including novel drugs. This chapter will discuss conditions which confer an increased risk of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, as well as review the evidence for diseases which have been historically associated with oral cancer.
