American Head and Neck Society Clinical Resources

The American Head and Neck Society Clinical Practice Guidelines were developed in 1995 by the Practice Guidelines Committee. Dr. Jesus Medina, then Chairman of the Clinical Practice Guidelines Task Force compiled and edited them for publication. They are listed below. The AHNS encourages you to use the newer guidelines available at the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN).
