Alam

 Know the Warning Signs of Head and Neck Cancer


Don't ignore symptoms that last longer than two weeks:

🔹 A persistent mouth ulcer

🔹 A lump in the neck

🔹 Hoarseness or voice changes

🔹 Difficulty swallowing

🔹 Persistent sore throat

🔹 Red or white patches inside the mouth


Risk factors include tobacco use, excessive alcohol consumption, HPV infection, and prolonged sun exposure (for lip cancer).


Early detection leads to better treatment outcomes. If symptoms persist, consult an ENT–Head and Neck Specialist promptly.
