Understanding Head and Neck Cancer
Head and neck cancers develop in the tissues of the upper respiratory and digestive tracts. They often begin as abnormal cell growth and may progress if not treated in time.
Common cancer sites include:
- Throat (pharynx)
- Voice box (larynx)
- Oral cavity
- Neck lymph nodes
- Thyroid and parathyroid
- Sinuses
- Salivary glands
- Nasal cavity
If you have persistent symptoms such as a neck lump, difficulty swallowing, chronic hoarseness, unexplained weight loss, or non-healing mouth sores, it is important to seek evaluation early.

Frequently Asked Questions
Early diagnosis makes treatment highly effective, and many patients recover fully.
Only proper evaluation and a biopsy can confirm. Any persistent lump must be checked.
Not always. Some cancers respond to radiation or chemotherapy. Your specialist will decide based on your condition.
Most patients recover well with guided rehabilitation. Speech and swallowing therapy may be needed in some cases.
