HEAD & NECK

Conditions of the head and neck should be examined by a physician as soon as possible. Not all presenting symptoms are related to cancer – but only your doctor can make an accurate diagnosis. Early detection is key. If you have a concern, such as a growth, a lump, trouble swallowing or any other change in your head, face or neck, it’s better to know sooner rather than later. Cure rates for cancers of the head and neck could be significantly improved if people would seek medical advice as quickly as possible. Play it safe. Remember—when detected early, most head and neck cancers can be cured with few side effects.
