VERY IMPORTANTLY IS THERE A KNOWN LIST OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN CANCER SURVIVORS THAT I CAN REVIEW TO KEEP MY HOPE ACTIVE? THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP..PEACE

Response of Allabh:

Dear Mr. Site Visitor:

Your inquiry about throat cancer has been reviewed. First we want to suggest to you to call the toll free number on the physician finder page of www.allaboutblackhealth.com to check with them about finding African-American physicians or support groups that can assist you.

As for survival rate in Blacks, this is going to depend on the stage of the throat or neck cancer at the time of the diagnosis.

The following links may help find what you are looking for:

American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery

American Head and Neck Society

American Cancer Society

CANCER Net

Lastly on our site, click on Clinical Trials to check about latest treatments that might be available in your case.

Good Luck and Keep hope alive

Dr. Carl Gilbert for Allaboutblackhealth.com
