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).


Spanish-Speaking Patients

  • “Tratamientos contra el cancer de cabeza y cuello”  (Treatments for Head and Neck Cancer)

View fact sheet at: http://www.cancercare.org/pdf/fact_sheets/fs_hn_treatments_es.pdf

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

View fact sheet at: http://www.cancercare.org/pdf/fact_sheets/fs_hn_coping_es.pdf

These new fact sheets are a Spanish-language adaptation of our CancerCare Connect® booklet A Team Approach to Treating Head and Neck Cancer (http://www.cancercare.org/pdf/booklets/ccc_head_neck.pdf), which is also available at no cost to people with cancer, their loved ones and the health care professionals who serve this population.
