Head and neck cancer is highly treatable if it is caught quickly, say medical experts, so you need to know how to identify the early warning signs of the disease in order to give you the best chance of beating it.
Mouth cancer in particular is highly preventable - giving up smoking and keeping your oral hygiene in check is important, but the best way to "save your life", according to the Oral Health Foundation, is to keep a close eye on the health of your mouth.
Indeed, nine in 10 mouth cancers that are caught early are treatable by surgery, the Mirror reports.
