Cancers of head and neck sites include many cell types, signs, symptoms, and prognoses, but they are generally diagnosed and treated in a similar fashion. This chapter discusses all head and neck sites with the exception of the malignancies of the central nervous system and the senses (eye and ear). For reporting purposes, head and neck cancers in ICD-O-3 code range C00.0 to C14.8 are often grouped together, while the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity are grouped with the respiratory organs, and the thyroid gland is reported separately.
