Advanced and Affordable Treatment of Head and Neck Cancer at World Class Hospitals in India

  • Surgery: as a treatment is frequently used in most types of head and neck cancer. Usually the goal is to remove the cancerous cells entirely.. Surgery is also commonly used to remove some or all of the cervical lymph nodes to prevent further spread of the disease
  • CO2 Laser: surgery is also another form of treatment.
  • Transoral Laser Microsurgery: allows surgeons to remove tumors from the voice box with no external incisions.
  • Excision: This is an operation to remove the cancerous tissue and the margin around it.
  • Lymph Node Dissection: If the doctor suspects that the cancer has spread, the doctor may remove lymph nodes in the neck, possibly causing stiffness in the shoulders afterward. This may be done at the same time as an excision.
  • Reconstructive (Plastic) Surgery: This type of operation is aimed at restoring a person’s appearance and function of the affected area. If the surgery requires major tissue removal (for example, removing the jaw, skin, pharynx, or tongue), reconstructive or plastic surgery may be done to replace the missing tissue.
  • Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy is the use of anti-cancer (cytotoxic) drugs to destroy cancer cells. Chemotherapy drugs work by disrupting the growth of cancer cells.
  • Radiation Therapy: Radiation therapy alone or may in combination with chemotherapy is standard curative treatment for many patients with head and neck cancers.
