Tests & Examinations for Head & Neck Cancers

To confirm a diagnosis of cancer and determine if it has spread, you may undergo endoscopy, head MRI, CT of the sinuses, head CT, panoramic dental x-ray, dental cone beam CT, PET/CT or chest imaging. If none of these tests indicate cancer, no further action may be needed. People who routinely drink alcohol, currently use tobacco products, or have used tobacco products in the past should receive general health screening examinations at least once a year. This is a simple, quick procedure in which the doctor looks in the nose, mouth, and throat for abnormalities and feels for lumps in the neck. If anything unusual is found, the doctor will recommend a more extensive examination using 1 or more of the procedures. Do listen to this episode to know more about the tests and examinations conducted for Head & Neck Cancers. I hope it helps. See you soon. Jai Hind
