Medical oncology enhances comprehensive care options for patients with head and neck cancer

At Mayo Clinic, head and neck specialists such as Dr. Jujie Zhao are steadfast in their shared commitment to the patient's best interest. They are dedicated to providing comprehensive care that addresses all aspects of a patient's treatment and supportive needs.

"We all put the patient's interest as our priority," Dr. Zhao says. "We work together to gain their trust, understand their needs and provide a comprehensive care plan."

As a medical oncologist, Dr. Zhao is acutely aware of the broad needs each person with cancer can face. With the help of Mayo Clinic's patient navigators, social workers and support services, the head and neck cancer team provides an enhanced experience that allows the patient to focus on healing.://www.mayoclinic.org/medical-professionals/cancer/news/medical-oncology-enhances-comprehensive-care-options-for-patients-with-head-and-neck-cancer/mac-20577731
