Head & Neck Cancer Specialist in Bandra

The incidence of head neck cancer is high in India due to tobacco consumption. The early symptoms are a painless non healing ulcer in the oral cavity or persistent change in voice or difficulty in swallowing. Since the patient does not have any problems and is ignorant of these symptoms he does not see a head neck cancer specialist and hence misses out on early detection of cancer.Dr. Satish Rao is the Head & Neck Cancer Specialist in Bandra

A biopsy of the non healing oral ulcer or a laryngoscopy with biopsy to detect a laryngeal or throat cancer helps to diagnose head neck cancer.

A CT scan with contrast helps stage the disease.

Surgery with appropriate reconstruction yields good results in operable cancers of the head and neck.

Radiation may be required subsequently in some cases. Consult the Head & Neck Cancer Specialist in Bandra
