Video: Introduction to Head and Neck Cancer   Head and neck
cancer includes a diverse group of cancers. Many cancers,
particularly when caught at an early stage, can be cured, but
getting the best outcome requires close cooperation among a
variety of medical specialists. Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer
Center has a multidisciplinary team of experts who work together
to develop a treatment plan aimed at eliminating the tumor while
preserving functions such as speech, swallowing, and sense of
smell. This approach to care has significantly improved the
chance of a cure while maintaining quality of life for patients,
including those with advanced disease.
