Head and neck cancer refers to cancers that occur in the head and neck, including oral cancer, tonsil cancer, pharyngeal cancer, larynx cancer, salivary gland cancer, and thyroid cancer. This area is closely related to the functions of eating, breathing, and speaking, so it is very important for quality of life not only to cure the cancer, but also to maintain its shape and normal function after treatment.

We are trying to give you the best results.

We also perform reconstructive surgery and active rehabilitation treatment to minimize functional and cosmetic losses that may occur after surgery.

At Ilsan Paik Hospital Head and Neck Cancer Center, medical staff from all fields gather together to discuss the most appropriate treatment method for each patient through regular integrated treatment.
