In an effort to do just that, the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center, the U-M Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery and the U-M MHealthy Tobacco Consultation Service & Alcohol Management Program will offer free throat cancer screenings by appointment on Saturday, April 26. The event, which coincides with Oral, Head and Neck Cancer Awareness Week, will also offer smoking cessation counseling and other resources and information about throat cancer.

Register for this event by calling 1-800-865-1125.
