From Diagnosis to Treatment

Do You Have Questions about Head and Neck Cancers?
If you’ve been diagnosed with cancer, you are most likely frightened and worried. And, you probably have pressing questions about the cancer you have and the treatment you’ll need.
William M. Lydiatt, M.D., and Perry J. Johnson, M.D., have worked with thousands of mouth and throat cancer patients. They understand the emotional turmoil patients and families go through after a cancer diagnosis, and they know how being informed can relieve some of that stress. They offer answers to many questions in Cancers of the Head & Neck. Among the topics they cover:
- How early detection leads to higher cure rates
- Cancer symptoms
- The emotional side of cancer
- How doctors make a diagnosis
- The importance of staging cancer
- Surgery and radiation therapy
- Chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy
- Experimental treatment through clinical trials
