VIDEO | 01:16

Dr. Michael Wu treats people with head and neck cancers at MSK in Manhattan and MSK Bergen, using advanced surgery and reconstruction to preserve function and quality of life.

Hi, I'm Dr. Michael Wu, a head and neck surgeon at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. I have advanced training in surgery involving the larynx, lips, mouth, nose, salivary glands, and throat. 

I also have a special interest in microvascular reconstructive surgery, which enables me to reconstruct a part of the head or neck that has been affected by cancer or non-cancerous tumors.

When we meet, I’ll help you understand your diagnosis and we’ll talk about what you enjoy most in life. You may have several treatment options to choose from, and I’ll walk you through each one to help you make an informed decision.

It’s important for me to really get to know you and what milestones matter the most to you. Is it returning to work? Singing in the choir again? Enjoying a meal with your family? Successful cancer treatment isn’t just about eliminating the tumor. It’s about giving you good days with the people you love. Together, we’ll make it happen.
