Kain - Joshua J. Kain M.D., F.A.C.S. Dr. Kain is a board-certified head & neck oncology, microvascular reconstructive, skull base, and robotic surgeon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622612c76001503a3b611ea3/9e0bfa05-74ab-439d-b1ac-91e81a594507/IMG_0998.jpg Dr. Joshua J. Kain - Through the American Head & Neck Society match, he was selected for a fellowship in Head & Neck Surgery & Microvascular Reconstruction at the University of California-Davis in Sacramento, California. This formative fellowship training provided him with advanced-practice skills in the fields of surgical oncology, microvascular reconstructive surgery, robotic surgery, skull base surgery, and maxillofacial trauma surgery. After training, Dr. Kain and his young family moved to Texas joining the Houston Methodist Hospital Department of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery under the leadership of chairman Mas Takashima, M.D. He held academic appointments through the Weill-Cornell Medical College, Houston Methodist Academic Institute, Houston Methodist Research Institute, and Texas A&M College of Medicine as an educator to residents, fellows, and medical students. In 2024, Dr. Kain and his family relocated to Charlotte, North Carolina in a joint appointment with Charlotte Eye, Ear, Nose & Throat Associates and the Levine Cancer Institute. This move brought them closer to family and gave their kids the opportunity to grow up with close cousins and friends while getting to enjoy a common love as a family- the great outdoors. Dr. Kain joined the Department of Surgery in the Division of Surgical Oncology, Head & Neck Surgery Section to provide comprehensive head and neck cancer care through a multidisciplinary team at the Levine Cancer Institute. His practice includes the breadth of oncologic and reconstructive surgery of the head and neck. This includes fruitful and frequent collaborations with colleagues from radiation oncology, medical oncology, endocrinology, neurosurgery, thoracic surgery, plastic surgery, and ophthalmologic surgery. He is board-certified diplomate of the American Board of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery (ABOHNS). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622612c76001503a3b611ea3/4b8edf11-612c-43ea-a7a9-754c0dcb316f/Screen+Shot+2022-03-08+at+11.49.49+AM.jpg Dr. Joshua J. Kain - He completed medical school at the John P. & Katherine G. McGovern Medical School (formerly the University of Texas-Houston Medical School) with distinctions in his studies of gross anatomy, developmental anatomy, and neuroscience. In the senior year, he was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) honor society for academic achievements. He completed an internship in General Surgery and residency in Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery (ENT) at the University of Alabama-Birmingham, the flagship medical institution and trauma center for the state and region. In this bustling 1100 bed tertiary care center, his medical and surgical skills were refined with gradual autonomy that prepared him for clinical practice and sub-specialty care. https://drjoshuakain.com/cancer-surgery daily 0.75 2024-02-17 https://drjoshuakain.com/reconstructive-surgery daily 0.75 2024-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622612c76001503a3b611ea3/3b76370b-6719-400a-af5a-81793742f69f/Screen+Shot+2022-03-07+at+10.26.36+AM.png Reconstructive Surgery - REconstructive Surgery Restoring form and function after treatment.

HPV-related oropharynx or throat tumors are Squamous Cell Carcinomas, the most common malignancy of the throat lining. However, these tumors differ greatly from the traditional head & neck tumors that share close relationships with tobacco and alcohol use as leading risk factors. HPV-related throat cancers come from longterm DNA damage and transformation caused by exposure to the human papilloma virus (HPV), often years or decades before progression to tumors. This process can be in younger individuals in the fifth and sixth decades of life who do not have a smoking or alcohol use history. Thankfully these tumors show, on-average, better responses to treatment than non-HPV driven cancers of the throat. The treatment course often involves a combination amongst surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy depending on the size, site, and stage at diagnosis. Transoral robotic surgery is a technique uniquely applied in HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer developed over the last 15 years. Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) can provide a minimally-invasive approach for treatment of HPV-related oropharynx tumors with quicker recovery and improved outcomes to traditional surgery in these locations. The newest advance in the surgical treatment of HPV-related oropharynx cancers comes through the introduction of the daVinci Single-Port surgical robot. This flexible, multi-arm robotic system allows head & neck surgeons unparalleled access to the hard-to-reach corners of the upper throat that traditionally required major open surgery. This has led to a paradigm shift in the surgical treatment of head & neck cancers in these locations, avoiding the morbid approaches once relied upon to gain access to these cancers. Not all oropharynx or HPV-related cancers are suitable for robotic removal, owing to their size, site, and stage at the time of diagnosis. In general, early-stage oropharynx tumors are best suited for the Single-Port robotic approach or TORS. Your doctor will evaluate the anatomic boundaries, location, and lymph node involvement to make this determination. A close working relationship between the disciplines of head & neck surgery, radiation oncology, and medical oncology are crucial to maximize treatment outcomes in HPV-related oropharynx cancers. We utilize a multi-disciplinary approach through our Head & Neck Tumor Board to define treatment plans for all patients affected by these tumors. While HPV-related tumors are readily treatable, and often times curable, the important role of prevention and even vaccination remains a critical part of fighting this disease. https://drjoshuakain.com/reservations daily 0.75 2022-04-05 https://drjoshuakain.com/skin-cancer-melanoma daily 0.75 2023-09-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622612c76001503a3b611ea3/1694003487293-5J2IFVNF53MAO3B9DD49/image-asset.jpeg Skin Cancer & Melanoma https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622612c76001503a3b611ea3/1694003768070-X5941507NA39MBRN4DR2/image-asset.jpeg Skin Cancer & Melanoma https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622612c76001503a3b611ea3/1694004069393-6WKWHA9QM9C5TWT8NTBU/image-asset.jpeg Skin Cancer & Melanoma https://drjoshuakain.com/videos-1 daily 0.75 2024-07-17 https://drjoshuakain.com/videos-1/surgery-videos monthly 0.5 2023-10-10
