Dr. Antoine Melkane is 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.
