April is Head and Neck Cancer Awareness Month
Head and neck cancers can affect vital areas such as the mouth, throat, voice box, and sinuses — and early detection can save lives. Warning signs like a persistent sore throat, hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, or a lump in the neck should never be ignored.

Together, let’s break the stigma, spread the word, and support those facing the fight.

WORDS FROM THE EXPERT
“You are not alone in this journey.”
"Being diagnosed with head and neck cancer is not the end of everything. With early detection and timely, proper management, there is hope. Most of the time, these malignancies are complex and do not have a simple instant solution — that’s why no one should face this alone. Through a multidisciplinary team of dedicated specialists from various fields and disciplines, we stand with you. Together, we will help you navigate this journey with clinical excellence, compassion, and teamwork."
— Dr. Adrian F. Fernando, President, Philippine Academy for Head and Neck Surgery, Inc.
At the PCS Cancer Commission Foundation, we echo this message of hope, expertise, and support. Early detection saves lives — and no one should fight cancer alone.
As we journey through this Holy Week, may we find time to reflect, repent, and renew our faith.
Let us remember Christ’s sacrifice and embrace His love, mercy, and grace — a reminder of hope and healing for all. May this sacred time bring prayer, forgiveness, and spiritual renewal to every heart.
"By His wounds, we are healed."
— Isaiah 53:5
From all of us at the PCS Cancer Commission Foundation, may you have a meaningful and blessed Holy Week.
