Symptoms of head & neck cancers

The symptoms of head and neck cancers are broad, depending where the cancer has developed and whether this has spread.

Macmillan Cancer Support have put together the following information which gives an overview of the signs and symptoms of head and neck cancers: Head and neck cancer symptoms | Macmillan Cancer Support

Please be aware that not all patients will experience all of the symptoms listed, so if you have any concerns about any symptoms then it is important to speak to your GP or Dentist.

The symptoms can also be signs of other conditions, as well as cancer.

If your GP or Dentist have any concerns, they will be able to refer you to the hospital for further checks, if needed.

Our staff at Salisbury District Hospital have long been well regarded for the quality of care and treatment they provide for our patients and for their innovation, commitment and professionalism. This has been recognised in a wide range of achievements and it is reflected in our award of NHS Foundation Trust status. This is afforded to hospitals that provide the highest standards of care.
