Prevention and Screening for Head and Neck Cancers

Presentation description:

Is there a screening physical exam for head and neck cancers?  Should I see my dentist, ENT or PCP? Where could cancer occur in the head and neck region? Is it the sinus cavity, skull, sinuses or mouth?  These are some of the questions we answer in this webinar.

Session participants will understand:

  • What is head and neck cancer and areas within the scope of the disease
  • What are the common symptoms and treatment for head and neck cancers
  • Common risk factors for head and neck cancers, including the increasing incidence rates for human papillomavirus (HPV) related head and neck cancers
  • Why alcohol use and smoking poses increased risk for head and neck cancer
  • What tests are available for HPV
  • How employers can support employees facing head and neck cancer
