As the only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center in Georgia, we provide some of the highest-quality and most innovative care anywhere.
The Head and Neck Cancer Clinic at Winship Cancer Institute at Emory Midtown in Atlanta is one of the top-performing academic programs in the country by volume.
Our fellowship-trained head and neck surgeons are experts in head and neck cancer and are often called upon to consult on complex cases and help patients who develop complications at other centers. We also provide a level of integrated care you won’t find anywhere else. Having our team all in one place is not only convenient for you, but it also leads to better head and neck cancer outcomes as the disease requires truly multidisciplinary care.
We have better head and neck cancer survival rates at Winship as compared with non-NCI-designated centers. We also know that living with head and neck cancer means focusing on quality of life. We consider your long-term goals from the very beginning and strive to deliver treatment with the fewest possible side effects.

Our nutritionists, nurses, social workers, speech therapists and more do everything in their power to help you throughout your experience. Head and neck cancer is a difficult diagnosis, but we’ll be with you every step of the way.
