What are Head & Neck Cancer & How do they occur?

Head and neck cancers usually begin in the squamous cells that line the mucosal surfaces of the head and neck (for example, those inside the mouth, throat, and voice box). These cancers are referred to as squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck. Head and neck cancers can also begin in the salivary glands, sinuses, or muscles or nerves in the head and neck, but these types of cancer are much less common than squamous cell carcinomas. We have discussed incidence and prevalence, various risk factors, and a bit about the evolution in the treatment of Head and Neck cancer that is quite informative. Hope it helps. Jai Hind Vivek
