Head and neck cancers
Backed by the latest clinical research and technology, we specialize in treating head and neck cancers while minimizing invasive surgery.
Where collaborative care meets technology

The benefits of transoral surgery
One emerging, less intrusive procedure we use is transoral laser microsurgery (TLM), which allows us to remove tumors through the mouth using a high-powered laser beam. It helps stop bleeding during surgery and preserves everyday speech and swallowing functions as much as possible. Sometimes, our surgeons use transoral robotic surgery (TORS), controlling robots to hold surgical instruments when more precise movements are needed.
