30. Treating Head and Neck Cancers | Dr. Evan Walgama

Dr. Evan Walgama is a Head & Neck Oncology Surgeon, which means that he specializes in treating any cancer affecting areas from the collar bone to the base of the brain. While in the past, head and neck cancer surgeons tended to see older patients in poorer health who were often smokers coming in for treatment, the demographics have shifted. Dr. Walgama’s practice is following this national trend, where younger, healthier, non-smokers, and often male patients are filling his waiting room.

The culprit is HPV – human papillomavirus. Patients may develop tumors in the mouth, tongue, throat, or skull base for other reasons as well. Surgery is sometimes a good option, and in other cases, chemotherapy and radiation might be considered better. Shared decision making with his patients is something Dr. Walgama advocates for. “I'm a surgeon, but not everybody needs surgery,” Dr. Walgama says. Listen to this podcast to learn how Dr. Walgama deals with tricky tumors in a delicate region of the body
