Head and Neck Cancer
Head and Neck Cancer is a group of malignant tumors that affect the organs in the head and neck areas such as the throat, mouth, nose, and larynx. It is usually caused by long-term exposure to tobacco and alcohol use. Symptoms of head and neck cancer can include a lump or sore in the neck, persistent coughing, difficulty swallowing, earaches, and hoarseness. Early recognition, diagnosis, and treatment of head and neck cancer can improve patient outcomes and help reduce mortality. Treatments vary but may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, or a combination of treatments. With effective treatment and monitoring, patients can live long and healthy lives.
