Overview

Cancers of the mouth and throat are often grouped together as oral or head and neck cancers. Treatment for mouth cancer usually involves surgery followed by radiation, while throat cancer, often diagnosed at a more advanced stage, is typically treated with radiation or combined chemotherapy and radiation.
