Oral cancer
Expert Care by Dr. Divyesh Pathak
Oral cancer affects different parts of the mouth, lips, and throat, requiring early detection and specialized treatment for the best outcomes. At AAdwaita Cancer Hospital, ICU & Research Center, under the leadership of Dr. Divyesh Pathak, we offer comprehensive care, including advanced diagnostic tools and personalized treatment plans to address all types of oral cancer.
Types of Oral Cancer
Oral cancer can develop in various regions of the mouth and throat. The main types include:
- Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Most common, affecting the flat cells lining the mouth and throat.
- Verrucous Carcinoma: A slow-growing variant of squamous cell carcinoma with wart-like growths.
- Adenocarcinoma: Cancer that begins in the salivary glands.
- Lymphoma: Cancer affecting the lymph tissue, especially in the tonsils and base of the tongue.
- Minor Salivary Gland Carcinomas: Cancer that arises in the small salivary glands located in the mouth, lips, or throat.
Diagnosis of Oral Cancer
Early detection is critical for successful treatment. At Adwaita Cancer Hospital, we use the latest diagnostic methods to confirm the presence and extent of oral cancer. Our diagnostic process includes:
- Physical Examination: A detailed examination of the mouth, lips, and neck to detect visible signs of cancer.
- Biopsy: A tissue sample is taken from the suspicious area for laboratory testing to confirm cancer.
-
Imaging Tests:
CT Scan or MRI: Provides detailed images of the mouth and throat to determine the tumor size and its spread.
PET Scan: Helps detect cancerous activity in other areas of the body.
X-rays: Used to check for the spread of cancer to the jaw or chest.
Oral Cancer surgery with reconstruction
At Adwaita, dr. Divyesh specializes in providing advanced oral cancer surgery combined with expert reconstructive techniques to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients. Oral cancer surgery with reconstruction is a complex process that involves removing cancerous tissue from the mouth or surrounding areas and then reconstructing the affected parts to restore function and appearance.
Preoperative assessment for oral cancer surgery with reconstruction is essential to evaluate the patient’s overall health, determine surgical risks, and optimize outcomes. In Adwaita, we involve a thorough medical evaluation, specialized imaging, and preparation for both tumor resection and reconstruction.
Before surgery, we perform thorough diagnostic tests, such as biopsies, imaging (CT, MRI, PET scans), and sometimes endoscopies, to determine the extent and stage of the cancer. Staging, using the TNM system, helps guide treatment, often involving surgical resection of the tumor and affected tissues.
Dr. Divyesh uses this technique to remove the entire tumor and is often used when the cancer is localized.The success depends on factors such as the type, size, location of the tumor, and the overall health of the patient. In Adwaita, we aim to improve the function and appearance of the affected area, and it is often a key component of treatment in patients who undergo cancer resection, particularly for cancers affecting areas like the breast, head, neck, or limbs.
Comprehensive Treatment Options:
At Adwaita Cancer Hospital, ICU & Research Center, we offer a full spectrum of treatment options tailored to each patient’s condition:
1. Surgical Treatment:
- Tumor Resection: Surgical removal of the tumor along with some surrounding tissue to ensure complete removal of cancer cells.
- Neck Dissection: If cancer has spread to the lymph nodes, we perform a neck dissection to remove the affected lymph nodes.
- Reconstructive Surgery: After tumor removal, reconstructive surgery is performed to restore appearance and function, especially for areas like the jaw, tongue, or lips.
- Radiation Therapy:
- Focused radiation is used to kill cancer cells, either as a standalone treatment or post-surgery to eliminate any remaining cancer cells.
- Chemotherapy:
- Chemotherapy drugs are used to destroy cancer cells throughout the body. It is often used in combination with surgery and radiation for advanced stages of oral cancer.
- Targeted Therapy:
- Medications that target specific molecules involved in cancer growth may be used, especially in advanced cases, to block cancer cell multiplication.
- Immunotherapy:
- For some advanced oral cancers, immunotherapy helps strengthen the body’s immune system to recognize and fight cancer cells more effectively.
