    I feel very blessed to have a profession that allows me to serve patients with both cancerous and non-cancerous diseases of the head and neck. As a head and neck surgeon, I carefully weigh the risks and benefits of treatment — working with our team to maximize the chance for cure while maintaining the highest quality of life. As a physician, my approach to patient care includes addressing one's physical, emotional, psychosocial, and spiritual needs and well-being. My research endeavors strive to improve the care we provide to patients with head and neck cancers. I have had a research program in tumor immunotherapy. I am active in addressing global health needs, being involved with regular humanitarian mission trips throughout the world. I am also active in training the next generation of surgeons that are able to address and solve challenges in an ethical and virtuous way. I have, along with my colleagues, developed and instituted a virtue-based approach to residency training that will meet this need. When not at work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and four kids in a variety of activities. Dr. Lee is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Tongue Cancer.

    I am a radiation oncologist, who specializes in treating head and neck and skin cancers. I chose this career path after watching an amazing friend receive treatment for a voice-box tumor. Her experience inspired me to dedicate my life to helping people like her. The relationships I develop with my patients, their families, and the clinical team are key to clinical success. By educating my patients about their cancers and treatment options, answering questions, and working together to develop a treatment plan, I empower my patients and provide the support they need to get through their treatments. I value being part of a skilled multidisciplinary team focused on providing compassionate and top-notched clinical care. I strive to constantly improve head and neck cancer treatments and am grateful to be able to offer cutting-edge clinical trials options to my patients. Outside of work, I treasure time with my family typically spent in outdoor activities including hiking, biking, camping, backpacking, running, kayaking, skiing, traveling, and playing/watching sports. We enjoy being active in the community and engaging in good causes. Dr. Robbins is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Tongue Cancer.

    What is the definition of Tongue Cancer?

    Tongue (oral) cancer can occur in different areas of the oral cavity, such as on the surface of the tongue in the mouth, or at the base of the tongue in the throat. Causes of tongue cancer include tobacco and heavy alcohol use, a weakened immune system, infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV) or a previous history of head and neck cancer. The risk of tongue cancer is higher in males. In time tongue cancers may spread to other areas of the mouth, head, and neck. Most oral cancers are squamous cell carcinomas.
