Head and neck cancer refers to a group of biologically similar cancers that arise in the tissues and organs of the head and neck region. These include the oral cavity, pharynx (throat), larynx (voice box), nasal cavity, sinuses, and salivary glands. Though diverse in location, these cancers often share common risk factors and treatment approaches. Early symptoms may include a persistent sore throat, hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, or a lump in the neck.
Here are some of the check up and health screenings that you should get done:
- Pelvic Exam
- Pap Smear (Cervical Cancer Screening)
- Breast Exam
- Blood Pressure Measurement
- Cholesterol Screening
- Bone Density Scan (DXA)
- Blood Sugar Test (Glucose Screening)
- Thyroid Function Tests
- Blood Count (Complete Blood Count, CBC)
* The specific exams and screenings recommended can vary based on a woman’s age, family history, personal health history, and risk factors. It’s essential to discuss your individual healthcare needs and screening schedule with your healthcare provider.
The most prevalent types of head and neck cancer include oral cavity cancer (affecting the lips, tongue, gums, and roof or floor of the mouth), pharyngeal cancer (impacting the nasopharynx, oropharynx, or hypopharynx), and laryngeal cancer (originating in the voice box). Other less common forms include nasal cavity and sinus cancers, as well as salivary gland tumors. Each type presents unique challenges based on its location and potential to impact breathing, speaking, or eating.
Several environmental and lifestyle factors contribute to the development of head and neck cancers. The leading causes include tobacco use (both smoking and chewing), heavy alcohol consumption, and human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, particularly in oropharyngeal cancer. Poor oral hygiene, prolonged sun exposure (for lip cancers), and exposure to industrial chemicals can also raise the risk. Understanding these factors is crucial for prevention and early detection.
Treatment for head and neck cancer often involves a multidisciplinary approach, with surgery playing a central role. Modern techniques like Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS) and laser excision allow for minimally invasive tumor removal with faster recovery. In more complex cases, microvascular reconstructive surgery helps restore appearance and function after extensive tissue removal. Surgery may be combined with radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapies, or immunotherapy depending on the cancer’s stage and location.
Beyond eliminating the tumor, a core focus of head and neck cancer care is on preserving the patient’s quality of life. Reconstructive surgery, speech and swallowing therapy, and nutritional support play vital roles in recovery. Long-term follow-up is essential to monitor for recurrence and manage any side effects of treatment. A holistic care plan—led by surgeons, oncologists, speech therapists, and nutritionists—ensures that patients regain both physical function and emotional well-being.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the early signs of head and neck cancer?
Early symptoms may include a persistent sore throat, difficulty swallowing, hoarseness, unexplained weight loss, a lump or swelling in the neck, or a non-healing sore in the mouth or throat. Some may also experience ear pain or changes in voice.
Who is at risk of developing head and neck cancer?
Major risk factors include tobacco use (smoking and smokeless), excessive alcohol consumption, human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, poor oral hygiene, and prolonged exposure to certain industrial chemicals or environmental pollutants. Individuals over the age of 40 are more commonly affected.
How is head and neck cancer diagnosed?
Diagnosis typically involves a thorough physical examination, endoscopy, imaging tests like CT scans, MRIs, or PET scans, and a biopsy to confirm the presence of cancerous cells. Early detection is critical for effective treatment.
What are the treatment options for head and neck cancer?
Treatment depends on the type, location, and stage of the cancer. It may include surgery to remove the tumor, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or a combination of these. Reconstructive surgery and rehabilitation may also be part of the care plan.
How does the survival rate vary for head and neck cancer?
Survival rates are influenced by factors such as the cancer’s location, stage at diagnosis, patient’s overall health, and how early the cancer is detected. Generally, early-stage head and neck cancers have a higher survival rate compared to those diagnosed at a later stage.
