Head and Neck Cancer

Head and Neck cancer is an aggressive form of cancer that may include the tongue, throat and larynx. Historically, it was thought to be a cancer that one gets from smoking, but more cases are appearing in nonsmokers.

Skin cancer can also occur on the face and head. Utilizing plastic surgery techniques the cancer can be removed to provide the best cosmetic result possible.
