Head & Neck Cancer

Comprehensive surgical oncology evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment by Dr. Avijit Mondal (M.Ch Surgical Oncology, AIIMS).

Understanding Head & Neck Cancer

Head and neck cancers develop in the tissues of the mouth, tongue, throat (pharynx), voice box (larynx), nose, sinuses, salivary glands, and other structures of the head and neck. Common risk factors include tobacco use, alcohol consumption, HPV (Human Papillomavirus) infection, and prolonged exposure to harmful substances. Early diagnosis plays a crucial role in improving treatment outcomes and preserving vital functions such as speech, swallowing, and breathing. Treatment is personalised based on the cancer's type, stage, and location.
