Partnering with Survivors to Live Beyond Cancer
Upon being diagnosed with head and neck cancer, you may wonder, "What's next?" Survivorship begins with your diagnosis and takes a comprehensive approach to addressing your needs throughout your journey. It considers the physical, emotional, psychosocial, and economic challenges you may encounter as you transition from active treatment to returning to your everyday life.
The UPMC Head and Neck Cancer Survivorship program is a patient-centered, multidisciplinary initiative created to meet the diverse needs of survivors. Our teams consist of head and neck surgeons, advanced practice providers, nurses, audiologists, speech-language pathologists, physical therapists, dietitians, and dentists. We will develop a personalized survivorship care plan designed to help you live well beyond your cancer.
