Conquering Head and Neck Cancer: Treatment, Recovery and Life After Diagnosis

By Isabella White

Each year, over 650,000 people worldwide are diagnosed with cancers of the head and neck-a deeply personal disease that can affect functions critical to everyday life, like breathing, eating, and speaking. While these cancers have traditionally been associated with tobacco and alcohol use, recent studies reveal that 25% of cases are linked to HPV.

In Conquering Head and Neck Cancer, readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of these diverse cancers so they can take charge of their diagnosis, treatment options, and recovery. This empowering guide provides advice the author wishes she had when facing her own head and neck cancer journey.

In addition to covering established treatments like surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, the book explores exciting emerging immunotherapies that utilize the body's immune system. It also delves into complementary therapies to manage side effects. Crucially, this is among the first patient guides to dedicate entire chapters to life after treatment-including physical, emotional, and practical aspects of survivorship.

Conquering Head and Neck Cancer equips readers with the knowledge, strategies, and support community to face every uphill and downhill along their path. From diagnosis and treatment to recovery and beyond, it helps create an optimal trajectory while living with hope. If you or a loved one are seeking to understand head and neck cancers deeply and navigate the terrain ahead, this may be the most useful book you ever read.
