A five-minute check-up from the neck up
Greenwich, CT (April 17, 2017) – Smilow Cancer Hospital’s Greenwich Hospital campus will hold an oral, head and neck cancer screening on Friday, May 5 from 4:30 - 6:30 pm in the Noble Conference Center. The free five-minute check-up from the neck up is open to the public. To register, call 888-357-2409; walk-ins are welcome. Free parking is available.
More than 50,000 Americans each year are diagnosed with head and neck cancer, which can attack the nose, sinuses, mouth, ears, throat, larynx, thyroid, saliva glands and lymph nodes in the neck. “Cancers in the head and neck are curable if caught early,” said Richard Brauer, MD, chief of Otolaryngology at Greenwich Hospital. ”Screenings are a great way to get a quick, basic exam by a member of our head and neck cancer clinical care team.”
Dr. Brauer urges people who have a history of these symptoms to be screened:
According to Dr. Brauer, tobacco use is the leading cause of mouth and voice box cancers, but the human papillomavirus (HPV) appears to be responsible for the national increase in cancers of the tonsils and tongue in younger nonsmokers, which is related to oral sex.
For more information about the Greenwich Hospital screening, call toll free 888-357-2409.
