The Mount Sinai Hospital has been nationally recognized
for the treatment of head and neck cancer for more than half a century.
In addition to the coordinated expertise of its teams
of surgeons, physicians, and support staff, the Multidisciplinary Program
for Diseases of the Head and Neck offers innovative clinical trials,
while also pursuing basic science research aimed at improving early
detection and intervention.
Curative management of tumors of the oral cavity, larynx,
skull-base, thyroid and parathyroid glands typically requires a complex
approach that spans not only surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy,
but also speech and swallowing therapy, skilled nursing, nutritional
support, and physical rehabilitation.
Our physicians are second to none. See
our team.
