A member asked:

How can one stop cancer of the neck metastasis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Cancers of the head/neck can spread to the other neck, lungs, bones, liver, etc. Depending on the type and stage surgery initially can be appropriate. Many times use of combined chemotherapy and radiation is helpful.
