Symptoms

Head and neck cancer includes cancers in the mouth, lips, voice box, throat, jaw, ear and nose.

They are on the increase and men and women in the north east of England are affected more than most. These cancers are more common in men and women over 40, but can also occur in younger people.

The signs and symptoms to look out for are:

  • hoarseness
  • pain or discomfort in the throat
  • an ulcer on the tongue or another part of the mouth
  • a lump or white patch in the mouth
  • painful or difficult swallowing or breathing
  • a lump in the neck

If any of these symptoms last for more than four weeks see your doctor or dentist without delay.
