The Alabama Oral Health Commission reports that 141 persons die from mouth and throat cancer in Alabama each year, ranking Alabama as 8th highest in the nation, and that approximately 550 persons in the state are diagnosed with this cancer each year.

An Institute of Medicine (IOM) panel recently concluded that studies show a causal relationship between asbestos exposure and cancer of the larynx, the part of the throat containing the vocal cords. The committee concluded that people exposed to asbestos had an average 40 percent greater chance of laryngeal cancer than those with no exposure. People with high exposure, including miners and some construction and textile workers, had up to double to triple the risk.
