What is Head and Neck Cancer?
Cancers that are known collectively as head and
neck cancers usually begin in the squamous cells
that line the moist, mucosal surfaces inside the
head and neck. These squamous cell cancers are
often referred to as squamous cell carcinomas of
the head and neck. Head and neck cancer includes
cancers of the mouth, nose, sinuses, salivary
glands, throat, and lymph nodes in the neck.
Most begin in the moist tissues that line the
mouth, nose and throat.

Treatment Options available for Head and Neck
Cancer at Top Cancer Hospitals in India
Surgery  During surgery, the goal is to
remove the cancerous tissue and some of the
healthy tissue around it . A surgical
oncologist is a doctor who specializes in
treating cancer using surgery. Types of
surgery for head and neck cancer include
Excision This is an operation to remove
the cancerous tissue and the margin around it.
Laser Technology  This may be used to treat
early-stage tumors, especially in larynx
cancer. 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
persons 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  It is done to
reduce the most possible the size of the tumor,
in order to limit the number of surgeries.
Sometimes only the radiotherapy will be necessary
after the chemo.  Radiotherapy It is often
a complement to the surgery, but sometimes it can
be the only treatment, particularly in larynx
cancers when the tumor size has correctly
decreased after the chemotherapy. In mouth
cancers, it's sometimes possible to use
curietherapy.

Minimal Invasive Surgery for Head and Neck Cancer
in India Minimally invasive surgical
techniques are used when possible to remove
tumors that are located near structures involved
in sensory and physical functioning. In many
cases, patients can recover more quickly when
treated with minimally invasive surgery
compared with traditional, open surgery.
Endoscopic Laser Surgery This technique may
be used to remove tumors in the larynx (voice
box) or pharynx (throat) while preserving the
structures involved in speech and swallowing. The
surgeon inserts a thin, lighted tube called an
endoscope through the patient's mouth and into
the throat. Surgeons remove the tumor using a
special laser that is attached to the endoscope.
Endoscopic laser surgery is often performed on an
outpatient basis with a safe, fast-acting
anesthetic that wears off quickly after the
procedure. Minimally Invasive Video-Assisted
Thyroidectomy (MIVAT) A tiny video camera that
is attached to an endoscope is used to remove
thyroid tumors through a small incision.
Robotic Surgery  Tumors of the tongue and
tonsils can be removed with the aid of small
robotic arms that are placed in the mouth,
avoiding the need to make a large incision or to
split the jawbone.
