IFHNOS World Head and Neck Cancer Week
April 28, 2026

1.Global Action Initiative:
“The 60-Second Check & Patient Voice Project”
- Encourage clinicians across specialties (ENT, oncology, dentistry, primary care) to perform a simple, structured 60-second opportunistic screening for all patients during the week.
- Each participating center records the number of individuals screened.
- Aggregated global data will be showcased on the IFHNOS platform as a measure of collective impact.
2. The Patient Voice Wall (Global Digital Campaign)
- Each society/center/member shares either:
A short patient insight (quote on survivorship, challenges, or recovery), a photograph of clinicians/patients holding a placard with the message:
“I Checked / I Care / I Support Head & Neck Cancer Awareness” - Submissions will be compiled into a Global Patient & Provider Mosaic hosted on the IFHNOS website, symbolizing solidarity across geographies.
These initiatives aim to:
- Reinforce early detection practices at scale
- Center the lived experience of patients
- Create a visible, measurable global footprint of participation
