Head and neck cancer team at Hokuto Hospital includes not just head and neck
surgeons, but it also includes radiologists, oral surgeons, dentists, and
plastic surgeons. Others in many subspecialties—neurosurgeons,
ophthalmologists, doctors practicing palliative medicine, pathologists,
anesthesiologists, pharmacists, speech therapists and experienced head and neck
cancer nurses—work closely with our core team to deliver comprehensive and
personalized care to our patients with head and neck cancer.
We
can provide microvascular reconstruction using a free flap for surgical defects
after removal of head and neck cancers. We can also take a proactive stance for
chemotherapy with anticancer drugs including molecular target drugs and
image-guided, intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IG-IMRT). Patients
diagnosed with head and neck cancer face unique challenges that can greatly
affect quality of life. Unlike other malignancies, head and neck cancer has the
potential to significantly affect a patient’s appearance, speech, swallowing,
and other senses. We proactively work to optimize each patient’s quality of
life and provide the best treatments for preservation of speech, taste and
swallowing functions, as well as maintaining overall physical appearance.
