Head and neck cancer is an umbrella term for various types of cancer that originate in the head and/or neck area, including the oral cavity, throat, larynx, pharynx, salivary glands, sinuses and lymph nodes in the neck. Treatment of head and neck tumors may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy, depending on the type and stage of the cancer. Early detection is critical to improve survival rates and may involve regular physical examinations, endoscopies and biopsies. Oncothermia may be a complementary option to help fight cancer. In this type of cancer, as in any other, it must be taken into account that each treatment must always be recommended and supervised by a professional.
