    Radiation Therapy

    Using sophisticated radiation technology, we can target tumors with amazing precision, reducing pain and leaving healthy tissue untouched. Radiation therapy targets specific areas of the body, shrinking tumors and killing cancer cells by damaging their DNA.

    Chemotherapy

    Using a combination of specialized drugs, chemotherapy has the power to destroy or slow down the growth of fast-growing cancer cells, wherever they are. Chemotherapy is often administered intravenously for head and neck cancers, but it can also be delivered by injection or orally. Depending on disease specifics, our patients may be offered a contemporary standard of treatment or a novel clinical trial.
