What Are Head and Neck Cancers?

Head and neck cancers refer to a diverse group of cancers that originate in the head and neck region. This includes areas like the:

  • Oral cavity: Tongue, gums, floor of the mouth.
  • Pharynx: The throat, including the oropharynx (tonsils, base of tongue) and nasopharynx.
  • Larynx: The voice box.
  • Nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses.
  • Salivary glands.

These cancers are primarily known as head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) because they typically develop from the lining cells of these mucosal surfaces.

Key Risk Factors

Several factors significantly increase the risk of developing head and neck cancers:

  • Tobacco Use: The most common cause, encompassing all forms of smoked and smokeless tobacco.
  • Excessive Alcohol Consumption: Significantly raises the risk, especially when combined with tobacco.
  • Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Infection: A growing cause, particularly for cancers in the oropharynx.
  • Poor Oral Hygiene: Can contribute to oral cancers.
  • Prolonged Sun Exposure: A risk factor for lip cancer.

Common Symptoms to Watch For

Early detection is crucial for better outcomes. Watch out for persistent symptoms such as:

  • A persistent sore throat or difficulty swallowing.
  • Hoarseness or other voice changes.
  • A lump or sore that does not heal in the mouth or neck.
  • Persistent ear pain.
  • Unexplained weight loss.

Diagnosis and Staging

Diagnosis involves a thorough physical examination, endoscopy, imaging tests (CT, MRI, PET scans), and a biopsy. Staging is vital to determine the cancer’s size, location, and whether it has spread, guiding the most effective treatment plan.

Multidisciplinary Treatment Approach

Dr. Sandip Ganguly believes in a team-based, multidisciplinary approach to ensure comprehensive care. Treatment plans are personalized based on the cancer type, stage, patient’s overall health, and molecular profile, and may include:

  • Surgery: To remove the tumor and affected lymph nodes.
  • Radiotherapy: Using high-energy rays to kill cancer cells.
  • Chemotherapy: Systemic drugs to destroy cancer cells throughout the body.
  • Targeted Therapy: Drugs that specifically attack cancer cells based on their unique molecular features.
  • Immunotherapy: To boost the body’s own immune system to fight cancer.

Supportive Care and Rehabilitation

Maintaining the patient’s quality of life is a key focus. Supportive care and rehabilitation include:

  • Nutritional support: Often with the help of dietitians, especially if swallowing is difficult.
  • Speech and swallowing therapy: To help patients regain function.
  • Physical rehabilitation: To restore mobility and strength.
  • Psychological counseling: To support emotional well-being.
  • Pain and symptom management: To ensure comfort throughout treatment.
