Welcome to
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. To learn
more about head and neck cancer please
