Frequently Asked Questions

How is head and neck cancer diagnosed?

The diagnosis of head and neck cancer depends on the history and physical examination, with accurate imaging-contrast-enhanced CT or MRI scans. A biopsy will check for cancer in a sample of tissue; an endoscopy allows use of a small camera to look into the throat or nose. Blood tests give additional information and cannot be diagnostic.

What follow-up care is necessary after treatment

Follow-up care after head and neck cancer treatment often involves visits with the doctor at least once every 1 to 3 months for the first year after treatment. Imaging tests, blood tests, or endoscopies may also be performed. Many people require treatments to manage side effects and can benefit from physical therapy to help in recovery and maintain life quality.

What are head and neck cancer symptoms?

General symptoms of head and neck cancer usually include sore throat that doesn't go away, blisters in the mouth that do not heal, and bleeding for no reason. A person may develop lumps or swelling in the neck, difficulties in swallowing, or changes in the voice. At times, there could be pain in the ear or difficulty breathing. Consult a doctor when experiencing these signs.

How can the side effects of head and neck cancers be managed?

Management of side effects of head and neck cancer is supported by hydration, soft diet, and therapeutic measures to get relief from pain. Speech and swallowing therapy may be helpful to improve communication and oral intake. Hygiene should be kept in mind, especially oral hygiene. Follow your physician's recommendations and notify them if you experience any new symptom.
