Introduction to Surgical Oncology
Surgery is an essential component of the treatment plan for cancer patients. Surgery partially or entirely removes the organ affected by cancer and drains lymph nodes, thus increasing the probability of cure. It might help relieve the patient’s symptoms and prevent cancer from spreading to other body parts. This would further help the patient in better survival chances. In Globe Healthcare Department of Surgical Oncology is blessed to have a dedicated team of highly skilled surgeons trained at India’s top cancer institute with extensive experience in delivering comprehensive cancer treatment.

Head & Neck Cancers
Head and neck cancer is a general term used by doctors. It describes the diverse group of malignant tumors in the head and neck region. Examples include:
- laryngeal cancer
- mouth cancer
- nasal cavity and sinus cancer
- salivary gland cancer
- skin cancer
- throat cancer
- thyroid cancer
- tongue cancer
Benign (noncancerous) growths can also form in the head and neck region. Examples include parathyroid tumors as well as tumors in the salivary glands.
Treatment
The typical treatment for head and neck cancer is surgery. Some tumors can be removed with minimally invasive procedures. These include laser microsurgery, robotic approaches, and Mohs surgery.
Other times, head and neck cancer operations can be very complex. They require careful preparation and planning. Our surgeons may use specialized techniques to preserve your appearance and critical functions, such as speech and swallowing. That’s why head and neck cancer is best treated by doctors having experience in head and neck cancer surgeries.
Radiation to the head and neck can cure many people with the disease. Radiation oncologists use many highly advanced technologies to treat head and neck cancer.
The most effective treatments for head and neck cancer are intensity-modulated radiation therapy and proton therapy. These specialized approaches can help prevent side effects, including those that affect your ability to eat or swallow.
Immunotherapy for Head and Neck Cancer
Immunotherapy is one of the most promising cancer treatments for people with advanced head and neck cancer. It uses the power of your immune system to fight cancer. People who come to Globe Healthcare for immunotherapy treatment benefit from the close collaboration between our doctors and scientists who are constantly looking for new and better approaches.
Immunotherapy is not suitable for everyone. A clinical trial testing other new head and neck therapies may give you more options if cancer has returned after standard treatment. Participating in a clinical trial may provide access to treatments that are not widely available elsewhere.
