Advanced Head & Neck Cancer Treatment You Can Trust
Head and neck cancer refers to a group of cancers that develop in areas such as the mouth, throat, voice box, sinuses, salivary glands, and nasal cavity. These cancers can affect essential functions like speaking, swallowing, and breathing, making early detection and timely treatment extremely important. The most common risk factors include tobacco and alcohol use, HPV infection, poor oral hygiene, genetic predisposition, and prolonged exposure to harmful chemicals or dust.
Patients may notice warning signs such as persistent sore throat, difficulty in swallowing, hoarseness, swelling in the neck or jaw, non-healing mouth ulcers, unexplained weight loss, or changes in voice. At this stage, accurate diagnosis is critical, which may involve clinical examination, imaging tests such as CT, MRI, or PET scans, endoscopic evaluation, biopsies, and specialized lab tests.
