About the Head and Neck Oncology Clinic
If you suspect that you have a head or neck tumor or have been diagnosed, the UAMS Health Head and Neck Oncology Clinic is here to help you.
Our clinic provides the most advanced treatment with state-of-the-art equipment for all types of malignant and benign tumors of the head and neck, including:
- Squamous cell carcinoma
- Thyroid
- Parathyroid
- Vascular malformations

Doctors in the Head and Neck Oncology Clinic work closely with our other cancer specialists, such as radiation oncologists and medical oncologists, to decide the best treatment plan available for you. Should you require reconstructive surgery, a surgeon with extensive reconstruction experience is available to see you in the same building as our clinic.
This multidisciplinary approach to health care is the standard for clinics in the UAMS Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute and not only offers comprehensive care but also reduces the number of clinic visits required.
Depending on your condition, you may be eligible to participate in clinical trials offering new and innovative treatment not available elsewhere in Arkansas.

Through research and education, our team also strives to advance the knowledge and investigate new treatments of thyroid disorders. Our research program, dedicated to advancing the fields of thyroid/parathyroid medical treatment, assures that you receive the best care based on the very latest findings.
