Who will be on my healthcare team during my cancer treatment? — Expert Video
In this video, Dr. Jonathan Irish explains that treating head and neck cancer requires a highly experienced, team-based approach. You'll be supported by a core team that includes your surgeon, medical oncologist, radiation oncologist, and nursing staff. Behind the scenes, pathologists and radiologists help with diagnosis and imaging. Other essential team members include dentists who care for your teeth before, during, and after treatment; dietitians who support your nutrition and strength; and speech-language pathologists who help with swallowing, speech, and recovery after oral cancer treatment. Dr. Irish also talks about additional support from social workers, chaplains, and other specialists who care for your emotional and spiritual well-being. This team works together to guide you through every stage of treatment and recovery, ensuring the best possible outcome.
