Folks, this is a big one for me. Of all the doctors and experts I get to interact with from UPMC today's doctor is one of the special ones for me.
Dr. Dan Zandberg isn't just the Co-Director of UPMC's Head and Neck Cancer Program at the UPMC Hillman Cancer Center.
He's also one of my doctors. One of the special ones who frankly saved my life.
You've got to see our discussion about Head and Neck Cancer and how the treatments that I got can be used for you and your loved ones.
What Is Head and Neck Cancer? (From UPMC.com)
Head and neck cancers often start in the mouth, throat, and voice box. They affect the way we breathe, speak, swallow, and look.
The most common type forms in the squamous cells, which line the surface of those areas. This type of cancer is squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
Head and neck cancer can also occur in the salivary glands, sinuses, or muscles or nerves. But these types of head and next cancer are much rarer than squamous cell cancer.
