Head & Neck Cancer Surgery in Hertfordshire
Consultant-led surgery for cancers of the mouth, throat, salivary glands and skin of the head and neck.
Hertfordshire patients with a diagnosis of head and neck cancer are typically transferred to Northwick Park (HA1 3UJ) for definitive surgery — a 25–40 minute drive from most of the county via the M1/M25. Post-operative oncology can be delivered at Mount Vernon Cancer Centre or East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust based on patient preference and geography.

About head & neck cancer surgery
Head and neck cancer covers a range of tumours: oral cavity, oropharynx, larynx, hypopharynx, salivary glands, thyroid, and skin cancers of the face and neck. Each site follows a distinct staging and treatment protocol, but the underlying principle is the same — a coordinated multidisciplinary decision made before treatment starts. Mr Farook is a lead surgeon in the Northwick Park head and neck cancer MDT and offers a mirrored private pathway that keeps the same clinicians, imaging protocol and reconstructive options.
