The International Head and Neck Cancer Epidemiology (INHANCE) Consortium was established in 2004, based on the collaboration of research groups leading large molecular epidemiology studies of head & neck cancer that are on-going or have been recently completed. When taken collectively, questionnaire data on over 20,000 cases & 25,000 controls, and biological samples from a majority of the study population would be available. These studies have been conducted in various regions of the world.
