Head & Neck Cancer
At Capital Oral & Facial Surgery, our Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons are highly trained in the diagnosis and surgical management of head and neck cancers. These cancers can affect the mouth, throat, salivary glands, and other areas of the head and neck region. Early detection and expert care are essential to achieving the best possible outcomes.
What Is Head & Neck Cancer?
Head and neck cancers include a group of tumours that typically begin in the lining of the mouth, nose, throat, or salivary glands. They may present as:
-
Persistent ulcers or sores in the mouth.
-
Lumps or swellings in the neck or jaw.
-
Difficulty swallowing or speaking.
-
Unexplained bleeding or pain.
-
Changes in voice.
If you notice any of these symptoms lasting more than two weeks, it is important to seek specialist assessment.
