Results: We found a statistically-significant downward trend with an annual percentage change of -10.83 LC 95% (-16.85, -4.40) between 2007 and 2013. Conclusions: We found that the tendency of incidence in larynx cancer decreased, mainly in males, where the results were statistically significant. These results should encourage continuing prevention of smoking and alcohol consumptioncáncerlaringeincidenciatendenciafactores de riesgolarynxarticlehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.otorri.2014.07.004
