The Duke Head and Neck Cancer Clinic employs a team approach
to provide comprehensive medical care for each patient.
Specialists in the fields of surgery, radiation oncology,
medical oncology, radiology, and pathology meet weekly to
jointly examine each patient and formulate a treatment
plan.
Our specialists draw upon decades of training and experience
treating both routine and complex, unusual diseases.
They evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of various
diagnostic and treatment regimens and map the most effective
course of treatment for each individual.
Patient Involvement
Patients play an integral role in creating the treatment
plan as well, deciding which options best fit their needs.
Our integrated team approach gives patients access to all
the information they need to make informed, knowledgeable
decisions.
