“Speak Up. Check Early. Save Lives.”
Today, we raise awareness about head and neck cancers affecting the mouth, throat, voice box, sinuses, and salivary glands. Early detection can make a life-changing difference, yet many of these cancers are diagnosed at later stages.
At CCMG, we are honored to care for patients facing head and neck cancer with incredible strength and resilience. We encourage everyone to listen to their bodies and speak up about changes that don’t feel right.
Important warning signs to discuss with a healthcare provider include:
• A lump or mass in the neck
• Persistent voice changes or hoarseness
• Ongoing sore throat, ear pain, or difficulty swallowing
• Mouth sores or growths that do not heal
• Unexplained weight loss
Today and every day, we stand with our patients, survivors, caregivers, and families while continuing to promote awareness, early detection, and compassionate cancer care.
Today we wear burgundy and ivory at CCMG for our patients.
