The pediatric head and neck tumor program offers specialized surgical care in children with benign and malignant masses of the head and neck. Because these tumors can affect critical structures of voice, swallowing, breathing and voice, surgery may require highly specific, complex approaches and postoperative care. It is important for patients to be cared for by an expert team utilizing state-of-the-art technology for diagnostics and treatment.
This program is led by Wenhua (Diane) Chen, MD, the only board-certified otolaryngologist uniquely trained with dual fellowships in both pediatric otolaryngology and surgical oncology with microvascular free flap reconstruction in the United States. She carries a deep understanding in complex surgical treatment to the head and neck and offers experienced and compassionate care for her patients. She collaborates with multidisciplinary team members in pediatric oncology, radiation oncology, vascular lesion clinic, interventional radiology, maternal fetal medicine, endocrinology and speech pathology.
