Treatment for any tumor, benign or malignant, of the head and neck may have a significant impact on a person’s ability not only to speak, but also to breath, swallow, and communicate.
Because of these connections among speaking, breathing, swallowing, and communicating, Stanford Medicine's head and neck surgeons rely on a robust, multidisciplinary, and collaborative approach to treatment.
