Cancers We Treat

Treatment for head and neck cancers requires an interdisciplinary approach. Many physical systems in the head or neck may be affected and tumors may be found in the bone, skin and other soft tissues of the head and neck. While many of these cancers respond well to treatment, the therapies are complex, and require the knowledge of different specialists for treatment.

A multidisciplinary team approach will provide you with an individualized treatment plan that offers you the best opportunity for treatment success. Washington Cancer Institute features cutting-edge technology for radiation treatment, and experienced medical oncologists, who will develop a personalized chemotherapy protocol for you.
