New leaders reveal plans to expand head and neck cancer care
Jason Newman, M.D.

Dr. Newman brings his passion and an impressive pedigree to MUSC Hollings Cancer Center. His goal is to push Hollings to the cutting edge. Newman’s areas of expertise include head and neck cancer surgery, robotic surgery, anterior cranial base surgery and thyroid surgery, with a special interest in minimally invasive approaches. 

Excited about tackling the next chapter of cancer research and care, Dr. Labadie joins MUSC as the new chair of the Department of Otolaryngology. In his new role at Hollings, Labadie said he hopes to foster collaboration between researchers and physicians to provide patients with access to the latest treatments.


Dr. Yoon is looking forward to expanding her biomarkers research at Hollings, which includes offering a clinical trial she previously led at Columbia University. She’s excited to join the multidisciplinary team at Hollings to lead more research on improving treatment and outcomes for cancer patients in South Carolina.
Bhisham Chera, M.D.

Dr. Chera is a renowned expert in head and neck cancer radiation and has been part of several recent breakthroughs in detection and treatment. The researcher and radiation oncologist attended medical school at MUSC, and now comes to Hollings from UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Dr. Albergotti is driven by a multidisciplinary patient-centered approach to treating patients with head and neck cancers. This passion is one of the reasons he was drawn back to MUSC. In 2012, Albergotti completed his medical doctorate training at MUSC, graduating Alpha Omega Alpha.
