About Head and Neck Cancer
Cancer Council statistics indicate that there are about 1,000 new cases of head and neck cancers in NSW each year but this number does not include the many patients with previously treated head and neck cancers who develop recurrence of their disease. A further 2,000 patients develop benign (non-cancerous) lumps and conditions involving the head and neck region and many of these require complex surgical treatment, similar to patients with cancer.
