MUSC Health offers one of the most comprehensive multi-disciplinary teams to treat throat cancer. This means that a group of over thirty specialists from several disciplines – including head and neck specialists, oncologist (cancer experts), pathologists, speech and swallowing specialists, and dentists – will weigh in to determine the best treatment plan. Treatments for cancer of the throat range from medication to surgery or radiation. Surgery to remove throat cancer can be non-invasive, conducted through the mouth without incisions. Radiation is a more advanced treatment, and statistics show that its cure rate matches surgical success rates.
