Head and Neck Cancers

Head and neck cancers are heterogenous cancers with rising incidence of treatable/curative cancers. They are treated comprehensively by multidisciplinary teams. Survivors of head and neck cancers often deal with the sequalae of therapy and with increasing survival rates, it is anticipated that the primary care physicians are going to encounter more patients in their clinics in the coming years. The clinicians should be aware of physiologic and functional changes in vital organs involving daily activities such as eating, drinking, speech and communication, and also be prepared to be a part of the cancer survivorship plans.
