Head and Neck Oncology is a multidisciplinary speciality that deals with cancers affecting various subsites of the head and neck region. Most cancers begin at the tissue lining, like the cheek, tongue, throat (pharynx and voice box), thyroid, or nasal cavity. Rarely, head and neck cancers begin in tissues like the salivary glands, sinuses, or muscles or nerves present in the head and neck.
At Apollo Cancer Centre, Hyderabad, we bring together experts from multiple specialities to provide comprehensive, individualised care. Our team includes head and neck oncologists, surgical oncologists, plastic surgeons, craniomaxillofacial surgeons, radiation oncologists, and medical oncologists. By working collaboratively, we ensure each patient receives the best possible treatment plan.
Depending on the type, site, and size of tumour, treatments may involve surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these approaches. At Apollo Cancer Centre, we employ radiation therapy using state-of-the-art instruments like the Novalis Tx system. It is known for its speed, accuracy, and precision in targeting tumours. The Department of Oncology is also looking forward to introducing Proton Therapy, which would benefit cancer patients with optimal outcomes along with minimal side effects post-treatment.
Our team also collaborates to deliver advanced treatments, including surgery (minimally invasive, robotic, endoscopic), and advanced reconstructive procedures using VSP (virtual surgical planning) to achieve the best possible functional and aesthetic outcomes to give the patients the best quality of life.
