Head And Neck Oncosurgery

Dr Amol Ghaisas expertise in diagnosis and treatment of malignant diseases of Head and Neck.

Orofacial cancer is fatal if left untreated. It usually begins with a rough patch, lump or ulcer that develops on tongue, floor of the mouth or lip. These lesions have tendency to spread to the lymph nodes in the neck. However many of these cancers remain in pre-malignant state before they become invasive and patient may be cured if surgical excision is performed and risk factors are controlled in the early stages.

It may be possible to treat some patients presenting with small and easily accessible lesions using radiotherapy. However patients usually require surgical resection of tumor,followed by reconstructive surgery and rehabilitation.
