Head and Neck Cancer (cancer of the mouth, eye, ear, nose)
Head and neck cancer includes all the malignant tumors occurring on the head and neck, including the mouth, nose, eye, and ear. It covers many types of cancer and the incidence varies for each site. For example, oral cavity cancer accounts for about 3% of all new cancer, but larynx cancer accounts for only about 1% in Minnesota.
The Masonic Cancer Clinic's Head and Neck Cancer Program offers its patients multidisciplinary, comprehensive, high-quality treatment and care in a central location. Our team of head and neck specialists designs a treatment plan for each patient with respect for the needs of both the patient and family. The overall goal is to achieve a positive impact on the patient's quality of life and long-term survival.
