Head and Neck Surgery Clinic

Massey’s experts partner with the Department of Otolaryngology’s Head and Neck Surgery team to offer a multi-specialty approach to treating head and neck cancer.

In addition to encompassing the full array of surgical and reconstructive options, several organ preservation protocols are in place. The department works with five other specialties to individualize and maximize therapy for head and neck tumors.

This close collaboration not only improves standard treatment options but also provides patients access to state-of-the-art surgical procedures involving skull-base tumors and utilizing free flap reconstruction. In addition, combined chemo-radiation therapy and intensity modulated radiation therapy have, in part, been developed at the VCU Medical Center and are extensively utilized treatment options.
