Head and Neck Cancer Center

Approximately 70,000 patients are diagnosed with cancer of the head and neck in the United States each year. These cancers may arise in the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, salivary glands, nose and paranasal sinuses, and thyroid gland. Other malignancies may originate in the bone, skin and other soft tissues of the head and neck. Many of these cancers are responsive to treatment, but the therapies are complex, and the quality of life for survivors may be impaired. A team of Johns Hopkins multidisciplinary specialists has been organized to address these issues.
