Head and neck cancers are a broad category of cancers that occur in the head and neck region. Head and neck cancer treatment depends on the type, location, and size of your cancer. Treatment for head and neck cancer often involves surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Treatments may be combined.
After treatment, recovery from head and neck cancer may involve working with rehabilitation specialists and other experts to cope with side effects.
