Head and Neck Cancer
Comprehensive care for head and neck cancers.
Types of Head and Neck Cancer
Head and neck cancer is the rapid growth of abnormal cells that usually starts in the mouth, nose or throat area. These cancers can spread to nearby lymph nodes or organs, or to distant areas of the body. Most head and neck cancers are linked to tobacco or alcohol use or infection with human papillomavirus (HPV).
Understanding the unique challenges of head and neck cancers, particularly neck tumors and laryngeal cancer, requires a highly skilled and collaborative team.
