Areas of surgical specialization in Head and Neck Surgery

Head and Neck Surgeon

Biography/Statement

Dr. Jeffrey N. Myers received his medical (MD) and doctoral (PhD) degrees from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and he then completed his residency training in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh. He subsequently completed fellowship training in Head and Neck Surgical Oncology at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, where he has been on the faculty ever since. Dr. Myers leads a basic and translational research program and his primary research interests are in the role of p53 mutation in oral cancer progression, metastasis and response to treatment.

After completing my residency in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, I completed a year of fellowship training in Head and Neck Oncologic Surgery at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in 1997.  I stayed on at MD Anderson Cancer Center since that time and in 2017, I became the Chair of the Department of Head and Neck Surgery.  My practice encompasses the spectrum of Head and Neck Oncologic Surgery and emphasizes multi-disciplinary care to obtain the best survival and quality of life outcomes for my patients. I have sub-specialty interests in caring for patients with cancers of the oral cavity (mouth) and skin. My practice philosophy is to care for others the way I would want my own family members to be cared for and to listen patients so that I can help them best achieve their personal goals for their treatment..

About Jeffrey Myers

Jeffrey N. Myers is a head and neck surgeon, Chair, Department of Head and Neck Surgery, Alando J. Ballantyne Distinguished Chair of Head and Neck Surgery, and translational scientist at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

President of the American Head and Neck Society from 2016-2018.

Dr. Jeffrey N. Myers received his medical (MD) and doctoral (PhD) degrees from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and he then completed his residency training in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh. He subsequently completed fellowship training in Head and Neck Surgical Oncology at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, where he has been on the faculty ever since. Dr. Myers leads a basic and translational research program and his primary research interests are in the role of p53 mutation in oral cancer progression, metastasis and response to treatment.
