Approximately 3-4% of cancers diagnosed in the United States are head and neck cancers (including oral cancer). Cancer that starts in the head and neck typically begins in the squamous cells that line the moist, mucosal surfaces inside the head and neck (for example, inside the mouth, the nose, and the throat). Head and neck cancer patients can receive integrated services including surgical oncology, radiation oncology, medical oncology, nursing, speech and language pathology and more.
