Head and Neck Cancers

Head and neck cancers are a broad category of cancers that occur in the head and neck region and are more than twice as common among men as they are among women. These cancers include:

  • Tongue or mouth cancer
  • Tonsil or throat cancer including HPV-related tumors
  • Voice box cancer
  • Thyroid cancer
  • Parotid cancer
  • Nasopharyngeal cancer

Cancers of the head and neck can be particularly aggressive. Early detection is one way to reduce the chance of the cancer’s spreading.

If you have symptoms and would like to schedule an appointment, call 216-778-4391.
