Head and neck cancer is a general term for malignant tumors that develop in the head and neck region, including the larynx, oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx, nasal cavity, and nasopharynx. Because this area is involved in essential everyday functions such as breathing, swallowing, and speaking, treatment can be challenging. If you have a voice change lasting more than 6 weeks, a mouth sore that doesn't heal after 3 weeks, or a lump in the neck, please see an ENT (ear, nose, and throat) specialist.2026-06-26

HPV (human papillomavirus) is well known as the virus that causes cervical cancer. However, HPV can cause head and neck cancer (cancer that develops in the head and neck area), oropharyngeal cancer, tonsil cancer, and anal and genital warts not only in women but also in men. The HPV vaccine can also help protect men. If you have HPV-related symptoms or are considering vaccination, please consult an otolaryngology (ENT) specialist.2026-06-26
