If you've been diagnosed with Head or Neck Cancer, it can be overwhelming. According to the National Cancer Institute the definition of head and neck cancer is cancer that arises in the head or neck region (in the nasal cavity, sinuses, lips, mouth, salivary glands, throat, or larynx [voice box]). For an overview of head and neck cancer, see the NCI Fact Sheet, Head and Neck Cancers.
See the online booklets What You Need To Know About™ Oral Cancer and What You Need To Know About™ Cancer of the Larynx to learn about cancer symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and questions to ask the doctor.
