A cancer diagnosis, understandably, provokes fear and uncertainty. I'm here to reassure you. Hi, I'm Dr. T.J. Ow, and I'm a head and neck surgeon at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Having performed hundreds of complex surgeries, I have surgical expertise in treating tumors and cancers of the mouth, larynx, throat, salivary glands, and thyroid. I have special expertise in treating skin cancers that arise in the head and neck areas, including the face, nose, scalp, ears, lips, and neck. I prioritize tissue-preserving techniques that safeguard both function and appearance.
As a researcher, I also focus on identifying the causes of head and neck cancers so that we can develop new targeted treatments for our patients. Our entire cancer care program at MSK is built on the most advanced clinical research. Through our extensive clinical trials program, our team of doctors combines their expertise to pioneer breakthrough treatments across all of our specialties, so you can feel assured that the care you receive here is truly world-class.
My commitment to you extends beyond the operating room. I am here to answer your questions, guide your decisions, and provide you with all the information you need so that you trust the decisions we make together. You can count on me to be honest with you and to treat you with respect because I consider it a true privilege to be entrusted with your care.
