Event Listing - Head and Neck Cancers: Taking Control of the Silent Killer September 4, 2009

Do you know that 75% of head and neck cancer patients present symptoms of advanced stage when they first consult their doctors?



It is worrying that little is being done to raise the awareness of this disease. Many of us are not aware of the symptoms of head and neck cancers and hence may not seek treatment early.

Here’s a chance to learn more!

To raise awareness of the disease, the Singapore Cancer Society is organising this year’s Head & Neck Cancers Public Forum on 5 September 2009.

Tackling the disease from different angles, the forum will cover treatment options ranging from radiotherapy to chemotherapy and targeted therapies.
