Expert treatment for cancers of the head and neck, combining advanced techniques for improved recovery and outcomes.

Head and neck cancer refers to a group of cancers that develop in the mouth, throat, voice box (larynx), sinuses, and salivary glands. These cancers are often linked to tobacco use, alcohol consumption, and HPV infection. Early detection plays a crucial role in successful treatment.

Types of Head & Neck Cancer

✔ Oral Cancer – Affects the lips, tongue, gums, inner cheeks, and floor of the mouth.
✔ Throat (Pharyngeal) Cancer – Develops in the nasopharynx, oropharynx, or hypopharynx.
✔ Laryngeal Cancer – Affects the voice box (larynx), impacting speech and breathing.
✔ Salivary Gland Cancer – A rare cancer affecting glands that produce saliva.
✔ Sinus & Nasal Cavity Cancer – Starts in the sinuses or nasal passages, causing breathing difficulties.

Symptoms of Head and Neck Cancer

Symptoms of Head and Neck Cancer

  • Persistent sore throat or hoarseness
  • Difficulty swallowing (Dysphagia) or a lump in the neck
  • Unexplained weight loss and fatigue
  • Mouth sores that do not heal or bleeding gums
  • Chronic nasal congestion or nosebleeds
  • Pain in the ear, jaw, or persistent headaches
  • Changes in voice or difficulty breathing

Diagnosis & Treatment

Diagnosis includes physical exams, imaging tests (CT, MRI, PET scans), endoscopy, and biopsy. Treatment options include:

  • Surgery – Removes tumors while preserving function as much as possible.
  • Radiation Therapy – Targeted radiation destroys cancer cells.
  • Chemotherapy – Used in advanced or recurrent cases to kill cancer cells.
  • Targeted Therapy – Blocks specific cancer cell growth pathways.
  • Immunotherapy – Helps the immune system recognize and attack cancer.
  • Reconstructive Surgery & Rehabilitation – Helps restore speech, swallowing, and appearance after treatment.

Benefits of Early Detection & Advanced Treatment

✔ Higher Cure Rates – Early-stage cancers have excellent survival rates.
✔ Minimally Invasive Surgery – Preserves voice, swallowing function, and appearance.
✔ Advanced Radiation Techniques – Reduces damage to healthy tissues.
✔ Speech & Swallowing Rehabilitation – Helps improve post-treatment quality of life.

Avoiding tobacco, alcohol, and HPV infection, along with regular screenings, can significantly reduce the risk of head and neck cancers. With expert care and advanced treatment options, patients can achieve the best possible outcomes.
