Overview about head and neck cancer
Head and neck cancer affects vital areas like the mouth, throat, and voice box. When left untreated, it can impact breathing, speaking, and eating.
Offers a wide range of diagnostic and treatment options for all types of head and neck cancers, ensuring accurate care and better outcomes.
The breadth of knowledge and many years of experience enable quick, accurate diagnosis and effective treatment—even in complex head and neck cancer cases.
Cancers that are known collectively as head and neck cancers usually begin in the squamous cells that line the mucosal surfaces of the head and neck (for example, those inside the mouth, throat, and voice box). These cancers are referred to as squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck. Head and neck cancers can also begin in the salivary glands, sinuses, or muscles or nerves in the head and neck, but these types of cancer are much less common than squamous cell carcinomas
