14TH HEAD & NECK CANCER AWARENESS WEEK
21-26 September 2026
About the Campaign
The Make Sense campaign is a unique and exciting initiative by the European Head and Neck Society (EHNS), led by Prof. Wojciech Golusinski and Prof. C. René Leemans. The EHNS is a multidisciplinary body that brings medical experts together from many disciplines, including head and neck cancer specialists, oral and plastic surgeons, radiation therapists, medical oncologists, imaging specialists and pathologists. The society also brings together other stakeholders, including speech therapists, cancer nurses, psychologists, physiotherapists, dieticians, social workers, basic scientists and patient organisations involved in any aspect of head and neck cancer.
Through the Make Sense campaign, the EHNS aims to raise awareness of head and neck cancer symptoms and subsequently drive earlier presentation, diagnosis and referral.
The EHNS developed the campaign mission statement to clearly communicate the purpose of the Make Sense campaign:
The EHNS aims to promote the exchange of knowledge between head and neck cancer experts to encourage the highest standards of research, education and training, disease prevention and patient care.
