Head and neck cancers comprise 3–5% of all cancers. These include cancers of the oral cavity, nasal cavity, throat, the voice box, and trachea. Other cancers involving the head and neck region are thyroid cancer and salivary gland cancers. These cancers are aggressive and require prompt multidisciplinary and skilled treatment. Unfortunately, many do not receive the care needed as dedicated head and neck cancer centers are not ubiquitous. In fact, there are only a hand full of these types of comprehensive centers in the entire state of Texas.
