Which hospitals in Chicago area provide best head and neck cancer diagnosis and treatment?

Is it the University of Chicago Hospitals?

The Strauss Cancer center at Weiss Memorial?

I might be biased since the owner of the forum works there but the University of Chicago would be the one I would look into first.

I'm biased too because I live in the area, but the University of Chicago was just cited among the top centers for cancer in the country. It's good to get opinions from major cancer centers and that's one of the best. You can then proceed with treatment at a local oncologist in conjunction with a plan from the U of C.

Best wishes,
