TUMOR DISEASES
TARGETS

The Head and Neck Oncology Research Group aims to advance our knowledge of tumour diseases in this anatomical area that includes the neck, mouth, tongue, pharynx, larynx, nasal cavities and salivary glands, at molecular, translational and clinical levels, as well as in the development of surgical techniques and devices. Our vision is to provide answers to the questions that arise when we are in front of patients, which is why the doctors who work at the hospital work with basic researchers. Complexity, referentiality, research and teaching are the basis of this research group.
