I, and several others on the board were treated in the Head and Neck Cancer program at the University of Chicago. If you decide to check them out after your research, I can provide you with some names and numbers to contact there. There is a lot of information available on the website, including clinical trials info, and a lot of the published work of the doctors in the program. I don't want to look like a salesman for a particular institution, so I will just offer myself as a source of info.
From an insurance standpoint, they were considered a preferred provider for my Blue Cross/Blue Shield insurance, so that was a big plus. My roommate throughout the program was from Crown Point, Indiana, and his insurance also considered U of C to be In-Network.
Just PM me or e-mail me with questions about specific Doctors.
They are a CCC, and use the team approach.
