Tonsil
Tonsil cancer is a type of oropharyngeal cancer that forms in the tissues of the tonsils, located at the back of the throat. It often presents with symptoms like a persistent sore throat, difficulty swallowing, ear pain, or a lump in the neck.
Thyroid
Most thyroid cancers grow slowly and are highly treatable, especially when caught early. Treatment typically includes surgery to remove part or all of the thyroid, often followed by radioactive iodine therapy or hormone replacement.
Parathyroid
Because it's often difficult to distinguish from benign parathyroid conditions, diagnosis can be challenging. Surgery to remove the cancerous gland is the primary treatment, and early detection is crucial for the best possible outcome.
Sinus
Can cause symptoms like nasal congestion, nosebleeds, facial pain or swelling, and sometimes vision changes. Often linked to exposure to certain workplace chemicals or smoking, sinus cancer can be aggressive and may spread quickly.
Cancer
Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells in the body. It can develop in virtually any tissue or organ and may form tumors or affect the blood and immune system.
Neck Mass
A neck mass is an abnormal lump or swelling in the neck that can result from a variety of causes, ranging from benign cysts and infections to more serious conditions like cancer. Common causes include enlarged lymph nodes, thyroid nodules, salivary gland issues, or tumors.
Hoarseness
Hoarseness is a change in the voice that may sound breathy, raspy, or strained. Persistent hoarseness lasting more than two weeks may signal a more serious condition, such as vocal cord nodules, polyps, or even throat cancer.
Trouble Swallowing
Trouble swallowing, or dysphagia, is a condition where it becomes difficult or painful to swallow food or liquids. It can result from issues in the throat or esophagus and may be caused by inflammation, neurological disorders, muscle weakness, or tumors.
Malnutrition
Malnutrition occurs when the body doesn't receive the right amount of nutrients to function properly, either due to inadequate intake, poor absorption, or underlying medical conditions. In cancer patients, malnutrition is especially common due to treatment side effects like loss of appetite, nausea, or difficulty swallowing.
