5% of all cancers globally are of the head and neck. It’s one of the most common cancers worldwide, yet few people are talking about it. Help us change that by sharing the White Paper bit.ly/3hMflQI #StayHNCAware #OneWeekToGo!

While treatments have improved for head and neck cancer in recent years, funding for research to identify better, more tolerable treatments is crucial. Research will also improve prevention strategies and survivorship programmes available.

Head and neck cancer can have a huge impact on physical and mental wellbeing and lifestyle, even after treatment.
Endorsement of EU-specific survivorship guidelines and the promotion and funding of patient rehab programmes is essential.

Watch one of our White Paper authors, Jesper Grau Eriksen (Head & Neck Radiation Oncologist), discuss how we can improve head and neck cancer survival rates and the vital need for multidisciplinary treatment.
