'I’m a cancer expert, this common issue could be a red flag for neck and head tumours' Cancers of the head and neck are on the rise, with one expert sounding the alarm over its earliest warning signs.
The expert labelled this surge of virus-induced head and neck cancers a "worrying trend" but noted people have a better chance for treatment and survival if they get an early enough diagnosis, which largely depends on people recognising the early symptoms.
Dr Kubes has issued a warning, saying: "Some of the early head and neck cancer symptoms can easily be mistaken for other common ailments, so it’s important to be aware of any changes to your body and address any concerns.".
Brits are being urged to safeguard their health by familiarising themselves with the early signs and symptoms of tumours in their head and neck as this is rapidly becoming "one of the world’s fastest-growing" cancer types.
With an estimated 12,000 people in the UK now being diagnosed with head and neck cancers each year, Cancer Research UK has revealed these rates have surged by a third since the 1990s.
