Head and neck cancer

Head & Neck Cancer refers to several types of malignant growths located in the Oral cavity (mouth), Pharynx, Larynx, and Lymph nodes of the upper neck. Head & Neck Cancers are generally Squamous cell carcinomas, meaning they originated from the squamous cells that line the upper digestive tract; however, Adenocarcinomas are sometimes found in the Salivary glands.
