Clinical Resources

The American Head and Neck Society Clinical Practice Guidelines were developed in 1995 by the Practice Guidelines Committee. Dr. Jesus Medina, then Chairman of the Clinical Practice Guidelines Task Force compiled and edited them for publication. We have removed the guidelines due to their age. The AHNS encourages you to use the newer guidelines available at the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN).

  • “¿Cómo puedo sobrellevar el cáncer de cabeza y cuello?” (Coping with Head and Neck Cancer)
