Disease/Condition Glossary
Head and neck cancer: It is a disease including abnormal growth of the tissues of the neck and head that may also have the ability to attack or spread to other portions of the body. Cancer of the head and neck generally starts in the cells known as squamous cells which appear in the lining of the surface of moist mucosa in the head and neck (e.g., inside of the throat, nose, and mouth).
Sickle cell anemia: It is a disease in which your body results in abnormally shaped red blood cells. The cells are shaped like a curved or sickle. They do not last as long as round, normal, red blood cells. This causes anemia. The sickle cells also get pushed into blood vessels, blocking the flow of blood. This can result in pain and organ damage.
