Dr. Winston Wong offers personalized therapies and trials to treat head and neck cancers at MSK, including mouth, tongue, throat, salivary gland, and thyroid.
Caring for someone with cancer requires a deep understanding of you as a person and the complex forces driving your cancer. With that knowledge, I seek to discover new ways to improve the treatment of cancer for my patients.
Hi, I'm Dr. Winston Wong, a medical oncologist specializing in treating head and neck cancers here at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
When we first meet, I spend time getting to know you. Who are your loved ones? What are your hobbies? What is your work? This information is important, so we can create a treatment plan that minimizes any side effects and lets you get back to doing the important things in life.
In addition to treating patients, I conduct research into how and why cancer cells respond to treatment. MSK is known worldwide for developing strategies to find and attack cancer cells that become resistant to traditional therapies. This has improved treatments for our patients, and cancer patients around the world.
Every person I care for is unique – both their cancer, as well as what you value most in life. I will treat your disease, and I will always remember what matters most to you.
