Ask Dr. Smith: What Are the Most Common Areas of Head and Neck Cancer?

Richard Smith, MD, discusses the most common areas of head and neck cancer: the tongue, tonsils, hypopharynx and the larynx.

More than 50,000 Americans are diagnosed with cancers of the head and neck each year. Symptoms usually appear only in the advanced stages. However, with an early diagnosis, the prognosis can be excellent. Nowhere is there a more advanced or skilled approach to diagnosis and treatment of head and neck cancers than at the Montefiore-Einstein Center for Cancer Care.
