Head and Neck Cancer stems from the squamous cells that line the moist, mucosal surfaces inside the head and neck like inside the mouth, the nose, and the throat or even the salivary glands. The only way of detecting Head and Neck Cancer before it affects the entire body is to watch out for its tell-tale signs. Early detection of Head and Neck Cancer can prove to be life saving and help one battle cancer with the aid of latest technology and a team with multi-disciplinary approach at Apollo CBCC.
