Head and Neck Tumors

Cancers occurring in the body system known as the "head and neck" are not among the common types of tumors, yet they require treatment by a team of specialists from various medical fields.

Our team includes specialized physicians in otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat), radiation oncology ("radiation therapy"), medical oncology (chemotherapy and immunotherapy), palliative care (supportive therapy), oral and maxillofacial medicine, and clinical nutrition. The diagnosis and treatment of tumors such as throat cancer, nasal cavity cancer, thyroid gland cancer, and others are based on teamwork and therapeutic decisions made with a deep understanding of the patient's condition, the disease's status, and the complex treatment modalities involved.

We aim to achieve complete healing by utilizing all available medical means, sometimes combining surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy for each patient.

The work of the "head and neck team" is founded upon the high capabilities of the hospital and its departments in otolaryngology, oral and maxillofacial medicine, the radiation institute, the oncological day hospital, and the oncological inpatient department. All team members are experienced professionals with extensive expertise in treating head and neck tumors in Israel. We make every effort to provide relief and healing for our patients at every stage of their illness.
