Head and neck cancers, including those found on the underside of the brain or skull base, represent only 3 percent of all cancers in the United States. These rare cancers require highly specialized expertise and treatment, which is what patients receive at the Coleman Foundation Comprehensive Head and Neck Cancer Clinic.

The Head and Neck Cancer Clinic team, which includes head and neck surgeons, neurosurgeons, medical oncologists and radiation oncologists, works with each patient to create an individualized care plan.
