Head and Neck Cancer Treatment
Head And Neck Surgery, Diagnosis And Treatment
The Department of Otolaryngology at Sheba Medical Center provides comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of a wide variety of head and neck disorders. The services offered include everything from cochlear implants to surgery on the base of the skull. This department is also responsible for the surgical neck cancer treatment.
Our world class surgeons work hand in hand with expert medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists, neuroradiologists, and support staff to offer each of our patients personalized, tailor-made medicine. Although our Department of Otolaryngology is only a single part of our integrative treatment team, it is a vital piece of our holistic approach to neck cancer treatment.
The types of cancer below are generally rare, comprising only three percent of all cancer cases in the United States. However, Sheba Medical Center is dedicated to providing world class medicine with a personal touch to all our patients, regardless of their cancer type.

Types of Head and Neck Cancers
The different kinds of head and neck cancers include:
Cancers Of The Lips And Oral Cavity:
The oral cavity, also known as the buccal cavity, is simply the mouth. Cancers here may originate in the tongue, cheeks, gums, or the hard palate.

The pharynx is the medical term for the throat. It is separate from both the esophagus (food pipe) and trachea (windpipe). The pharynx is made up of the nasopharynx, behind the nose, the oropharynx, the back of the mouth, and the hypopharynx that goes down into the neck.
Cancers Of The Nasal Cavity And Paranasal Sinuses:
This includes the area inside the nose as well as the sinuses situated to either side of the nose.
Cancer Of The Larynx:
The larynx is the medical term for the voice box and includes the vocal cords and epiglottis.
Cancer Of The Salivary Glands
The salivary glands produce saliva and are located in several areas within the mouth.
