摘要Common head and neck cancers include those of the nasopharynx, larynx, thyroid, tongue, oral cavity, hypopharynx, salivary glands, oropharynx, nasal cavity and sinuses. While the prognosis for small cancers is good, their early detection can be difficult as they may present with vague symptoms that are common to a wide variety of infective, inflammatory and other pathologies. A family physician must be aware of the symptoms and signs of the common head and neck cancers. A careful assessment of symptoms is important and essential to direct a thorough examination of the head and neck. This is not always straightforward, and cancers that occur in the cavities of the head and neck may go undetected by those unfamiliar with the necessary examination techniques. The family physician should be aware of the factors that add to and detract from the patient's quality of life and remain actively involved in all aspects of a patient's management and follow-up.
