As part of nationwide Head and Neck Cancer Awareness Week, the University's Department of Otolaryngology will provide free head and neck cancer screenings today and Wednesday.
Today's screenings will take place at U.Va. Otolaryngology Associates at the Augusta Medical Center, Medical Office Building and at the University Medical Center Department of Otolaryngology Wednesday.
The Yul Brynner Head and Neck Cancer Foundation is sponsoring the campaign, which runs from Apr. 7 through Apr. 11 and aims to improve prevention, diagnosis and treatment of these diseases.
Each year, 60,000 cases of head and neck cancer are diagnosed, which result in more than 12,000 deaths, according to the American Cancer Society. However, 90 percent of head and neck cancers can be detected by a 10-minute exam.
