The commonest neoplasm in male was carcinoma of the larynx which represented 16.6% of all cancers in male treated. The next frequent neoplasm in male was carcinoma of the tongue, 10.4 %. Carcinoma of the head and neck was therefore commonest cancer accounting for 53.2 % of all neoplasms in male as compared with 13 % for cancer of the gastro-intestinal tract, and 11.7% for cancer of the lymphatic tissue system.
