Apollo Proton Cancer Centre launches centre of excellence for head and neck cancer

It offers comprehensive cancer management.

Apollo Proton Cancer Centre (APCC) launched its Centre of Excellence for Head and Neck Cancer for cancer management.

The centre has cutting-edge technologies offering "patients the best possible oncological outcomes while preserving their functionality and cosmesis."

Head and Neck cancer is a significant public health concern, with 57.5% of cases worldwide occurring in Asia. India alone accounts for 30% of all head and neck cancers worldwide. This alarming trend is often attributed to unique habits, such as tobacco chewing, and the high incidence of oral cancer associated with smokeless tobacco use.

Dr. Sapna Nangia, Director – Breast, Head & Neck, Department of Radiation Oncology, APCC, said the prevalence of head and neck cancer in India is a cause for concern, and it necessitates a specialized and integrated approach to treatment.
