Head & Neck Oncology

What Does a Head and Neck Oncologist Do?

A head and neck oncologist specializes in diagnosing and treating cancers that affect the mouth, throat, larynx, thyroid, sinuses, and salivary glands. This field is also known as head and neck surgical oncology, where doctors perform complex procedures to remove tumors while preserving vital functions.
