What is head-neck cancer?

 The incidence of various types of cancer has been increasing over time.  One of these is head-neck cancer.  Head-neck cancer is not just a type of cancer. 

 Instead, there are many different parts of the body, especially the upper part of the neck and the side of the head, such as oral cancer, throat cancer, pharyngeal cancer, laryngeal cancer or cancer of the voice box, nose cancer or sinus cancer.  

Thyroid cancer a collective name for these is head-neck cancer.  The symptoms of these cancers are similar.  It is a big part of whole body cancer.  In Bangladesh, 25-30% of those who get cancer get this cancer.

 Why is head-neck cancer?

 When the normal cells of the body become abnormal cells and the body loses control over it and turns into a tumor, we call it cancer.  Head-neck cancer is the collective name for many cancers in the body.  Tobacco, alcohol, alcohol and some viruses are responsible for this cancer.  

Toxic chemicals from the factory, excessive salty foods, too much iodine or too little iodine, hereditary causes or if at some point in life he has taken radiotherapy for any other cancer — these can lead to head-neck cancer.

 Why is special attention given to head-neck cancer?

 In the past, lung cancer was given more importance in our country.  Usually men get this cancer.  Head-neck cancer is more serious.  

Tobacco is the leading cause of head and neck cancer.  If we reduce smoking, it is possible to reduce this cancer.  There has not been much discussion about head-neck cancer before.  We started this talk.  

The number of head-neck cancer patients is increasing in Bangladesh.  There is also a treatment for this disease in this country.  The number of patients is increasing so much that there is no way but to pay special attention.  But this cancer is almost completely preventable.

 What are the symptoms of head-neck cancer?

 In our country, cancer is rarely caught before it reaches the 'advanced stage'.  As a result, even after spending a lot of money, it is not possible to cure it most of the time. 

 If there is a sore on the face for three weeks in a long time, if it does not heal after taking medicine or if there is sore throat for two to three weeks, nose bleeds or nose is closed, there is a tumor on the skin in the head-neck area, long in the throat  If they feel like thorns, they need to be tested for head-neck cancer.

 Treatment of head-neck cancer

 Who will be diagnosed with head-neck cancer through diagnosis.  If you go to the Upazila Health Complex of our country, you can be tested.  If there is any swelling or sore, it can be examined with the juice or tissue.  

CT scans or MRI or endoscopy can also be used to diagnose this cancer.  If you have cancer, the next step is staging.  There is an international scale for testing the stage of cancer. 

 Then you have to refer to the right place in the right place.  There are three main types of head and neck cancer.  First, surgery will be done.  Second, radiotherapy will be given.  Both can be given.  Sometimes chemotherapy is given. 

  However, chemotherapy is not the main treatment for head-neck.  Like all cancers, head and neck cancers are more likely to be cured if diagnosed at an early stage.  If caught early, the chances of recovery are much higher.
