We’ll do a physical exam and ask you about your health history. During the exam, we will pay special attention to your:
- Mouth
- Throat and neck
- Ears
- Eyes
- Nose
Tests may include:
- Blood work: We will analyze your blood for signs of cancer.
- Biopsy: We may use a thin needle to take a sample of tissue so our pathologists can examine it for signs of cancer.
- Imaging tests: We may perform X-rays, ultrasound or MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) tests to get detailed views of your head, neck or chest.
