Early detection for head and neck cancers is crucial

Tobacco use is the most preventable cause of deaths that are the result of a head or neck cancer.

Tobacco use doesn’t just include smoking. Smokeless or spit tobacco can also cause diseases and cancer of the mouth.

Additionally, e-cigarettes and vaping products may also pose health risks and should not be viewed as a “safe” alternative to smoking. Along with tobacco, alcohol is the most common cause of cancers of the mouth, throat, voice box and tongue.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 70 percent of cancers of the tonsils, tongue and back of the mouth are linked to HPV. HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the U.S.

The CDC states that the HPV vaccine does protect against the types of HPV that can cause oropharyngeal cancers, so it may also prevent these cancers.

If detected early, some of these head and neck cancers can be cured successfully with few side effects.

Don’t wait until symptoms get worse — talk to your doctor as soon as possible at the first sign of these head and neck cancers.
