Mass screening to detect early carcinomas of head and neck was rarely attempted previously. The rarity is due to rather low incidence of carcinomas of each site of head and neck region, and thus, efficiency of the screening is doubtful. But if there is effective method of first step screening which can be easily performed to decrease the population to be examined by ENT doctors, mass screening will be effective.Carcinoma of the vocal cord is thought to be most suitable lesion for mass screening in head and neck cancers. From epidemiologic analysis of the patients with carcinoma of the vocal cord, patients who are older than 50 years with long-standing hoarseness and the habit of smoking more than twenty years, compose high risk population. These factors can be employed as first step screening. Mass screening limitted to these high risk population will not be difficult.An enquete was attempted to obtain the opinions of ENT doctors about the mass screening for these high risk population.Three hundreds and fifty five doctors answered to the enquete. Sixty-five percent of the doctors answered "mass screening should be done because the results of treatment will be better and the patients which can be controlled without sacrificing the larynx will considerably increase", but 25% of the doctors answered "mass screening is meaningless because the result of treatment for carcinoma of the vocal cord is satisfactory and efficiency of mass screening is doubtful because the incidence of carcinoma of the vocal cord is too low for mass screening."
