Specialities dealing with Head Neck Tumours

Head and Neck cancer is a broad topic which covers cancers of the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, oropharynx, nasopharynx etc. Oral cavity cancers are very common and on the rise in India. The primary reason for head and neck cancer of the oral cavity is unrestrained tobacco consumption. Another reason for head and neck cancer can be a virus called Human Papilloma Virus. It also significantly contributes to the generation of head and neck cancers.

Cancer of the head and neck can be treated using surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. At times, bigger size tumours are difficult to operate on for cancer surgeons as they can damage other organs which are tightly in contact with the site of the cancerous organ. 

Our head and neck specialities offer the full breadth of surgical techniques and approaches for the removal of head and neck tumours. We strive to improve and refine our surgical techniques to make them less invasive and optimize our patients’ quality of life.

For some patients who undergo head and neck cancer surgery, it is common to need reconstructive surgery. Our team is well trained in microvascular surgery, an advanced technique in which the surgeons use free tissue transfer to reconstruct the head and neck area. The quality of the reconstruction directly influences a patient’s function, appearance, and quality of life following surgery.

We provide state-of-the-art care to patients with all types of head and neck cancer.
