Frank Civantos considers the progress achieved in head and neck cancer surgery. At times, a patient's goals of cure and quality of life create a surgical conflict, but head and neck surgeons have made great progress towards being able to achieve both.
Frank Civantos, MD is a board certified ear, nose and throat specialist. He co-directs the division of head and neck surgery. His practice includes surgery of benign and malignant tumors of the parathyroids, thyroid, parotid, and neck, as well as cancers of the upper aerodigestive tract, including the sinuses, skull base, nasopharynx, oropharynx, hypopharynx, larynx, and oral cavity. In addition, he treats advanced skin malignancies and has a research interest in Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy, and minimally invasive endoscopic surgery. He also maintains a practice in the surgical treatment of Zenker’s Diverticulum.
