therapy for many patients and Duke surgeons are among the best
in the field.
Our surgeons place a premium on preserving function and
minimizing tissue loss.
The Duke Head and Neck Cancer Clinic offers a full range of
rehabilitation services designed to manage side effects and to
help each patient return to normal activities as soon as

experts, and pharmacists help patients manage pain, ensure
proper nutrition to maintain health, determine the best doses
of medications, and care for patients’ teeth during and after
therapy.
