Part of the O’Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center at UAB, our interdisciplinary team was among the first nationally to offer robotic-assisted resection of head and neck tumors, and our endocrine program is active in managing diseases of the thyroid and parathyroid glands using the latest minimally invasive surgical techniques.
