Why the HPV Vaccine is Important

The HPV Vaccine prevents about 30 percent of cancers in adults. John Letterio, MD, Division Chief, Pediatric Hematology and Oncology at University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospitals explains how this vaccine is a form of immunotherapy will allow us to eradicate many HPV-related cancers in our lifetime.

Helping Patients and Families Dealing with Head and Neck Cancer

At UH Seidman Cancer Center, ensuring patient wellness and providing support are integral facets of our standard of care. For example, we work hard to schedule our patients’ tests and treatments in the same area of the hospital and during the same appointment times whenever possible. Since dealing with financial issues can be burdensome, we also help families explore financial options.

To keep patients and their families educated and informed, our physicians take the time to explain all available treatment options and the potential risks involved. Prior to any procedure, our team of doctors meets with the patient to let him or her know exactly what to expect.
