Head & Neck Cancers

Overview

Patients at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance have access to the advanced care of the Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery Center at University of Washington Medical Center. The Center offers comprehensive treatment of head and neck cancer from a multidisciplinary team of head and neck surgeons, reconstructive surgeons, dental surgeons, radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, neuroradiologists, and pathologists. SCCA was formed, in part, to bring promising new treatments to patients faster. This means that people who have head and neck cancer will find more treatment options at SCCA than might be found elsewhere, including participation in one of the clinical trials conducted at SCCA and its parent organizations, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and UW Medicine.
