Abstract
According to the definition for rare tumours by RARECARE (incidence < 6 per 100,000), as well as according to the definition for rare diseases by the European Commission (prevalence < 50 per 100,000) the H&N cancers described in this paper should be considered rare and diagnosis and treatment of these cancers should therefore be centralised.
