How did brain and eye cancers get in here?! edit

Latest comment: 12 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

As defined even by the referring page, "Head and neck cancer" refers to skin and mucosal tumors that are the purview of otolaryngologists and reconstructive surgeons. Neither of these specialties are trained to diagnose or treat brain or intraocular tumors. While I recognize the primal human desire to lump things into categories, placing glioblastoma under the same umbrella as basal cell carcinoma is not intellectually responsible.Mdonken (talk) 15:05, 31 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
