关于About this treatment

What the procedure involves.

Head and neck cancer treatment in China encompasses surgery, radiation therapy (IMRT/proton), and systemic therapy for cancers of the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, and salivary glands. Chinese head and neck surgical teams at centers like Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center have world-leading experience, particularly with nasopharyngeal carcinoma endemic to southern China. Reconstructive microsurgery with free flap techniques restores function and appearance after tumor removal.
