At the Head and Neck Cancer Foundation, we are working hard to build awareness of head and neck cancers amongst the public.
We are a charity devoted to driving awareness for, and the adoption of, groundbreaking head and neck cancer treatment. Our work aims to minimise the magnitude of surgery and limit the resulting aesthetical impacts, on head and neck cancer patients.
Treatment for head and neck cancers is still largely based on invasive surgery. What makes head and neck cancers different are the facial scars and life-changing impact surgery can have on the vital functions of breathing, swallowing and speech. Current standard surgical procedures also impact the senses of sight, hearing, taste and smell.
