About Head & Neck Cancer Surgery
Head and neck cancer refers to cancer that develops in areas such as the mouth, tongue, lips, throat, voice box, salivary glands, and other tissues of the head and neck. Common symptoms may include a persistent mouth ulcer, a lump in the neck, difficulty swallowing, a change in voice, or a sore throat that does not heal. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are important for managing these cancers. Head & Neck Cancer Surgery involves removing cancerous tissue while aiming to preserve important functions such as speaking, swallowing, and breathing whenever possible. Depending on the type and stage of cancer, surgery may involve removing a tumour, nearby lymph nodes, or affected tissues. Some patients may also require reconstructive surgery, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy as part of their overall treatment plan.
