Surgical oncology and reconstructive care for tumors of the head, neck, and face — with a focus on function, safety, and individualized treatment planning.
Head and neck cancer encompasses a broad range of tumors that can affect the mouth, throat, voice box, nasal passages, sinuses, thyroid, parathyroid, and salivary glands. The treatment approach depends on the type, location, and stage of the tumor, as well as each patient's overall health and goals.
Dr. Hassan Nasser's fellowship training in head and neck surgical oncology provides the specialized expertise required to manage these complex conditions. The goal is not only effective tumor removal but also preservation of critical functions such as breathing, swallowing, speech, and facial movement — with reconstructive planning integrated from the outset.
Not every lump, nodule, or lesion is cancer. Many head and neck findings are benign but still require expert evaluation to determine the correct diagnosis and whether treatment is necessary. The information below is designed to help you understand the procedures available and when specialist evaluation may be appropriate.
