Your head and neck are home to not only the brain and parts of the spinal cord, but a bona fide command center where breathing and digestion are initiated; where thoughts and emotions are conveyed through expressions, words, speech, even singing. It’s the region of the body largely responsible for how you survive, interact, and find emotional, social, and spiritual fulfillment. This is why it’s important that you trust your head and neck cancer to a team who can give you everything you need, and anticipate those needs in real time. Our robust team includes: - Expert ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgeons who can remove tumors and repair their damage - Radiation oncologists who can shrink stubborn lesions next to vital or fragile structures - Medical oncologists who deliver medicines that can stop cancer cells from dividing Our multidisciplinary team of physicians ensures you can get specialized, comprehensive care without having to leave our campus in the heart of Phoenix.
