by Nicholas Kalavrezos, Consultant Oral and Maxillofacial Head and Neck Surgeon
Our cancer service is one of the most comprehensive in the country. We diagnose and treat the main cancers of the head and neck including: mouth, voice box, throat, salivary glands, nose and sinuses, thyroid and sarcoma of the head and neck.
Our head and neck surgeons, oncologists, specialist nurses, radiologists and histopathologists are all very experienced who work as part of a multi-disciplinary team (MDT) to offer patients at UCLH a tailored treatment plan of care.
Throughout the website you will find information about the different cancer types and you will meet the teams that look after those patients. You will find stories from actual patients that have also gone through the same journey that you may be facing. There is information on our extensive support services and how to access them. There is contact information for the specialist nursing and the administration teams to provide you with support and advice during you cancer pathway.
Before building the website we asked patients for information and features they would want to read and find helpful. We we tested on patients to gain their feedback and to make sure we had delivered as asked. The whole MDT was involved in creating the content to ensure the information was accurate, up to date and patient focused.
We hope you find our new website useful. Please do make comments and recommendations, we value your feedback. We would also like you to come back to this blog for updates.
