Head & Neck Cancer — Trattamento a Cuba
Head and neck cancers are a group of cancers that arise in the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, nasal cavity, and salivary glands. Most are squamous cell carcinomas. At La Pradera International Health Center in Havana, Cuba, our integrative oncology program combines Cuban immunotherapy innovations with supportive and rehabilitative care for international patients with head and neck cancer.
Understanding Head & Neck Cancer
Head and neck cancers encompass several subtypes depending on where they originate. Early detection and accurate staging are essential for effective treatment planning.
Oral cavity — lips, tongue, gums, inner lining of the cheeks
Pharynx (throat) — nasopharynx, oropharynx, hypopharynx
Larynx (voice box)
Nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses
Salivary glands
Most are squamous cell carcinomas (over 90%)
Signs and Symptoms
Symptoms vary by location and are often subtle in early stages. Persistent symptoms should prompt medical evaluation:
A sore in the mouth or on the lip that does not heal
Persistent sore throat or difficulty swallowing
Hoarseness or voice changes lasting more than two weeks
A lump or swelling in the neck
Difficulty breathing or chronic nasal congestion
Ear pain or ringing that does not resolve
Unexplained weight loss
White or red patches in the mouth
Diagnosis and Staging
Diagnosis involves a thorough examination, imaging, and biopsy. Our oncology team reviews all prior records to plan treatment.
Physical and endoscopic examination by an ENT specialist
Biopsy of the suspicious lesion
CT, MRI, or PET-CT imaging for staging
Molecular and HPV testing where relevant
Stage I–IV classification based on tumor size, lymph node involvement, and metastasis
