Head and Neck Oncology deals with the diagnosis and treatment of cancers that develop in the mouth, throat, larynx, nose, sinuses, and salivary glands.
These cancers often affect essential functions like speech, breathing, and swallowing — making treatment a delicate and multidisciplinary process.
Through Medicine Park International, patients from Europe, and across the world can access Turkey’s top head and neck oncology centers, which combine advanced surgery, radiotherapy, and reconstructive care to restore both health and quality of life.
💡 What Is Head and Neck Oncology?
Head and neck cancers originate in the mucosal surfaces of the mouth, nose, and throat.

Common types include:
Throat cancer (pharyngeal cancer)
Laryngeal (voice box) cancer
Oral cavity cancer (tongue, lips, gums, mouth)
Nasal and sinus cancer
Salivary gland cancer
HPV-related cancers
