Warning Signs

Symptoms that may indicate a head and neck tumor

Persistent Sore Throat

Throat pain, difficulty swallowing, or sensation of something stuck in the throat lasting more than 2-3 weeks, especially if one-sided, which may indicate pharyngeal or laryngeal tumors.

Mouth Sores/Lumps

Non-healing ulcers, white or red patches, or lumps in the mouth that persist beyond 2 weeks and may represent premalignant or malignant oral cavity lesions requiring biopsy.

Neck Mass

Persistent lump in the neck, especially if painless, growing, or present for more than 2-3 weeks, which may represent metastatic lymph nodes from an occult primary tumor.

Voice Changes

Hoarseness lasting more than 3 weeks without obvious cause, which may indicate vocal cord lesions or laryngeal cancer requiring laryngoscopic evaluation.

Nosebleeds/Obstruction

Frequent nosebleeds, especially one-sided, or persistent nasal obstruction that may indicate nasopharyngeal or sinonasal tumors requiring endoscopic evaluation.

Persistent Sore Throat

Lasting more than 2-3 weeks, especially one-sided.

Mouth Sores/Lumps

Non-healing ulcers or patches in the mouth.

Neck Mass

Persistent, painless lump in the neck.

Voice Changes

Hoarseness lasting more than 3 weeks.

Nosebleeds/Obstruction

Frequent or one-sided nasal symptoms.

Diagnostic Approach

Comprehensive evaluation for head and neck tumors

1

Clinical Examination

Thorough head and neck physical exam including fiberoptic nasopharyngolaryngoscopy to visualize the upper aerodigestive tract and identify suspicious lesions.

2

Imaging Studies

CT, MRI, or PET-CT scans to evaluate tumor extent, local invasion, lymph node involvement, and distant metastases for accurate staging and treatment planning.

3

Biopsy/Pathology

Image-guided or endoscopic biopsy to obtain tissue diagnosis, with specialized pathological analysis including immunohistochemistry and molecular testing when indicated.

4

Multidisciplinary Review

Tumor board discussion with head and neck surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists, and pathologists to determine optimal treatment strategy.

5

Functional Assessment

Evaluation of swallowing, voice, and airway function to guide treatment planning and preserve quality of life during and after therapy.

Clinical Examination

Thorough head and neck physical exam.

Imaging Studies

CT, MRI, or PET-CT for tumor staging.

Biopsy/Pathology

Tissue diagnosis with pathological analysis.

Multidisciplinary Review

Tumor board discussion for treatment planning.

Functional Assessment

Evaluation of swallowing, voice, and airway.

Treatment Options

Comprehensive therapies for head and neck tumors

Oncologic Surgery

Precision tumor resection with negative margins while preserving function, including transoral robotic surgery (TORS), laser microsurgery, and complex reconstruction.

Radiation Therapy

Advanced techniques including IMRT and proton therapy to target tumors while sparing surrounding healthy tissues, often combined with chemotherapy.

Medical Oncology

Chemotherapy, targeted therapies, and immunotherapy including checkpoint inhibitors for advanced or metastatic disease, often in combination with other modalities.

Reconstructive Surgery

Microvascular free tissue transfer and local flaps to restore form and function after tumor resection, including speech and swallowing rehabilitation.

Oncologic Surgery

Tumor resection with functional preservation.

Radiation Therapy

IMRT and proton therapy techniques.

Medical Oncology

Chemotherapy, targeted therapies, immunotherapy.

Reconstructive Surgery

Microvascular flaps for functional restoration.
