Nearly 60,000 people each year develop a tumor of the head or neck. Tumors that appear within the head and neck region are not always cancerous and University of Florida physicians are trained to determine if a head or neck tumor is malignant or benign.

University of Florida ear, nose and throat (ENT) physicians will work closely with other physicians from the University of Florida Shands Cancer Center Head and Neck Oncology Program to treat head and neck cancer. Together, a multidisciplinary team works to treat your head or neck tumor through various non-invasive or surgical procedures and innovative radiation and gene therapies.

University of Florida ENT physician can also perform Mohs microscopic surgery to treat certain types of skin cancer. This reduces the risk of recurrence.
