The report highlights the growing prevalence of head and neck tumours among Indian cancer patients. While cancer is a widespread issue worldwide, this particular subset poses unique challenges due to its location and impact on vital functions such as breathing, swallowing, and speaking.
As the numbers continue to rise, it becomes essential for medical professionals, policymakers, and patients' families to work together to address this pressing concern.
