Head & Neck Cancer Care

Head and neck cancers encompass a diverse group of tumors that arise in the moist surfaces lining the mouth, nose, and throat. Radiation therapy is a cornerstone of head and neck cancer treatment, either as a primary therapy (definitive) or after surgery (adjuvant) to eliminate residual cancer cells.

Organ Preservation Protocol

Historically, large head and neck tumors required extensive surgical resection, often involving the removal of the larynx (voice box) or portions of the jaw. Modern precision radiation oncology allows for definitive chemoradiotherapy that achieves excellent cure rates while preserving the anatomical structures necessary for speech, swallowing, and breathing.
