COVID-19 Update

About the Head and Neck Oncology Clinic

If you suspect that you have a head or neck tumor or have been diagnosed, the UAMS Health Head and Neck Oncology Clinic is here to help you.

Our clinic provides the most advanced treatment with state-of-the-art equipment for all types of malignant and benign tumors of the head and neck, including:

  • Squamous cell carcinoma
  • Thyroid
  • Parathyroid
  • Vascular malformations
  • Salivary gland tumors
  • Skull base tumors

Doctors in the Head and Neck Oncology Clinic work closely with our other cancer specialists, such as radiation oncologists and medical oncologists, to decide the best treatment plan available for you. Should you require reconstructive surgery, a surgeon with extensive reconstruction experience is available to see you in the same building as our clinic.

This multidisciplinary approach to health care is the standard for clinics in the UAMS Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute and not only offers comprehensive care but also reduces the number of clinic visits required.

Depending on your condition, you may be eligible to participate in clinical trials offering new and innovative treatment not available elsewhere in Arkansas.

Thyroid Center

Many people with thyroid problems do not even know what they are experiencing because the symptoms are common and are often attributed to other medical problems.

At the UAMS Health Head and Neck Oncology Clinic, our Thyroid Center is a multidisciplinary referral center specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of benign and malignant thyroid and parathyroid diseases.

Our interdisciplinary team of fellowship-trained surgeons, endocrinologists, pathologists, radiologists and nuclear medicine doctors work with our Thyroid Center staff in the treatment and long-term management of thyroid malignancies. State-of-the-art diagnostic equipment is available for our patients, including video laryngoscopy and high-resolution ultrasound.

You will have access to all specialists on our team during your visit, which ensures shorter evaluation times, comprehensive care and a patient-centered experience.

Through research and education, our team also strives to advance the knowledge and investigate new treatments of thyroid disorders. Our research program, dedicated to advancing the fields of thyroid/parathyroid medical treatment, assures that you receive the best care based on the very latest findings.

A broad range of conditions affecting the thyroid and parathyroid are treated at the Thyroid Center:

  • Thyroid masses
  • Thyroid cancer
  • Hyperthyroidism
  • Hypothyroidism
  • Graves’ disease
  • Parathyroid disorders
  • Osteoporosis
  • Goiter
  • Genetic thyroid / parathyroid conditions
