Head & Neck Cancer Treatment

In Lajpat Nagar, Delhi

Head and neck cancer is a condition where cancer develops in areas like your mouth, throat, voice box, or nasal region. It begins when abnormal cells grow and form tumors in these areas. Cancers can affect basic functions such as speaking, swallowing, and breathing. The condition might develop gradually, and early symptoms are often mild. Regular checkups and early diagnosis are important to detect the disease early and start treatment for better outcomes.

Symptoms
Symptoms include a lump in your neck, an ongoing sore throat, or difficulty swallowing. You might even experience changes in your voice. Mouth sores that do not heal, mouth pain, and difficulty chewing are also common signs. In some cases, there might be your pain or unexplained weight loss. The symptoms should be checked if they continue for a long time.

Causes
Head and neck cancer develops because of changes in the DNA of cells in these areas. The main risk factors include tobacco use, alcohol consumption, and HPV function. Other factors, such as poor oral hygiene and exposure to harmful substances, might also increase the risk.

Diagnosis
Doctors perform a physical examination and ask about their symptoms. Imaging tests help identify abnormal areas. To confirm cancer, doctors perform a biopsy. Further tests can help determine the type and stage, which guides the treatment plan.
