  • Laryngeal cancer

    Vocal cord cancer often occurs slowly and causes a gradual change in voice with growing roughness. This can be accompanied by some pain when speaking or swallowing, spitting blood, growing lymph nodes or weight loss.

    Risks factors for laryngeal cancer include smoking, alcohol consumption and HPV infection.

    Dr Kost has an over 25 years of experience in the diagnosis and treatment of laryngeal cancers. With a team of oncologists, radio oncologists, and speech therapists, she treats and follows patients with small to advanced laryngeal cancers.

  • Thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer

    Thyroid nodules are very common and can be difficult to differentiate from thyroid cancer. This is best achieved by working with a team of pathologists and endocrinologists who can evaluate the biopsy results and suggest the best way forward.

    Thyroid surgery is a very delicate procedure as it involves the nerve that controls the vocal cords.

    Dr Kost has performed over 1500 thyroid surgeries and trained surgeons for over 20 years to perform thyroid surgery.

  • Head and neck cancer

    Head and neck cancer can involve the skin of the head and neck, the salivary glands, the lymph nodes, the mouth, the tongue, the pharynx, nasopharynx, larynx, vocal cords, sinuses, thyroid, parathyroid and skull bones.

    Dr Kost has been involved the diagnosis, treatment and follow up of all types of head and neck cancer, big and small. She continues to provide medical and surgical care to oncology patients every week.
