Head and Neck Research, Head and Neck Surgeon
David M. Neskey, M.D., MSCR, FACS is an assistant professor in the Department of Otolaryngology in the division of Head and Neck Surgical Oncology. Originally from Massachusetts he received his medical degree from Albany Medical College with a distinction in research in 2006 followed by a residency in Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Miami. He then completed a fellowship in head and neck surgical oncology at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. This training experience was comprised of two years dedicated to basic science research followed by a year committed to the management of patients with head and neck cancer.
Dr Neskey’s clinical focus is on the care of patients with benign and malignant neoplasias of the head and neck including oral cavity, oropharyngeal, laryngeal lesions, and skullbase, advanced melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancers, and lesions of the salivary glands, thyroid and parathyroids. His specific interests are squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity and oropharynx along with advanced skin cancer and skull base tumors. He currently sees patients in Hollings Cancer Center.
Dr Neskey has published over 30 peer reviewed articles and book chapters focused on the molecular pathways and genomic alterations associated with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Based on this work he is currently funded through the National Institute of Health to study the mechanisms of invasion and metastases in head and neck cancer. In addition to his lab based studies, Dr. Neskey is the principle investigator in several ongoing trials, including an investigator initiated trial investigating immunotherapy a presurgical treatment for patients with oral cavity cancer. He is board certified by the American Board of Otolaryngology and is a member of the American Head and Neck Society, American Academy of Clinical Research, and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons.
Investigator Initiated Phase II Trial of Nivolumab as a Novel Neoadjuvant Pre-Surgical Therapy for Locally Advanced Oral Cavity Cancer (NCT03021993).

A native of Taylorsville, North Carolina, Dr Mays received her medical education at the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina and completed her otolaryngology residency at Wake Forest University, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. She completed a two-year fellowship in Head and Neck Surgical Oncology and Total Body Microvascular Reconstruction at UT MD Anderson Cancer Center, in Houston, Texas.
Throughout her training, Dr Mays has made research contributions to head and neck oncology in both the clinical and translational realms. She has been recognized regionally by her peers for her role in cancer patient advocacy, through numerous volunteer and leadership roles. She is looking forward to furthering her research and cancer advocacies efforts in the Baton Rouge, Louisiana area.
Dr Mays will be seeing patients with head and neck cancer, upper aerodigestive tract lesions, and complex reconstructive deficits. She has interests in robotic surgery of the head and neck (TORS), endoscopic skull base surgery, and total body microvascular reconstructive surgery.

Dr. Antoine Melkane is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Otolaryngology at the Saint Joseph University School of Medicine.
Dr. Melkane graduated from the Saint Joseph University School of Medicine, Beirut, Lebanon in 2004. After completing his residency in Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery at the Hotel Dieu de France University Hospital, Beirut, Lebanon (2004-2009), he underwent fellowship training in Head and Neck Cancer Surgery at the Gustave Roussy Institute, Paris XI University, Villejuif, France (2009-2012), then at the Karmanos Cancer Institute, Wayne State University, MI, USA (2012-2013).
Dr. Melkane joined the faculty at the Hotel Dieu de France University Hospital in 2014 and is actively involved in the care of patients with head and neck cancers, developing both oncologic and reconstructive surgeries.
Dr. Melkane holds a Master of Surgical Science from the Paris XI University, Paris, France (2012). His main research interests involve the implication of Human Papillomavirus in oropharyngeal cancers, the role of sentinel node biopsy in early oral cancers, and the application of confocal laser endomicroscopy in head and neck cancers.
