Head & Neck Cancer includes a group of cancers that develop in the mouth, throat, voice box, nose, sinuses, salivary glands, and surrounding tissues. Early diagnosis and personalized treatment are essential for improving outcomes while preserving important functions such as speech, swallowing, and breathing.
At Dr. Charu Garg's Radiation Oncology Practice, patients receive comprehensive head and neck cancer care using advanced radiation therapy techniques and evidence-based treatment protocols. With over 25+ years of experience, Dr. Charu Garg is committed to delivering precise, compassionate, and personalized cancer care.
Head & Neck Cancer refers to cancers that arise in the tissues and organs of the head and neck region. These cancers commonly affect the oral cavity, throat (pharynx), voice box (larynx), nasal cavity, sinuses, salivary glands, and thyroid region.
Head & Neck Cancer includes cancers of the oral cavity, throat, larynx, nasal cavity, sinuses, salivary glands, and thyroid region, each requiring specialized diagnosis and care.
Treatment depends on the type, stage, location, and extent of the cancer and may involve radiation therapy, surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or a combination of these approaches.
Symptoms may vary depending on the location of the cancer but commonly include:
Dr. Charu Garg uses modern radiation technologies to improve treatment precision, maximize tumor control, and reduce radiation exposure to surrounding healthy tissues, helping minimize treatment-related side effects.
Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy delivers highly targeted radiation while protecting nearby healthy structures such as the salivary glands and spinal cord.
Image Guided Radiation Therapy uses daily imaging to ensure accurate treatment delivery throughout every radiation session.
RapidArc provides fast, highly precise radiation treatment with shorter treatment times and improved patient comfort.
Tomotherapy combines advanced CT imaging with radiation delivery for exceptional precision in treating complex head and neck cancers.
3D-CRT shapes radiation beams to match the tumor while reducing radiation exposure to surrounding healthy tissues.
SBRT is used in selected cases, while SRS is recommended for selected brain lesions requiring highly focused, high-dose radiation.
Several factors may increase the risk of Head & Neck Cancer, including:
An accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment planning.
Dr. Charu Garg has over 25+ years of experience in Radiation Oncology and specializes in advanced radiation treatment for head and neck cancers using modern technologies and personalized treatment plans for the best possible outcomes.

Yes. Radiation therapy is one of the most effective treatments for many head and neck cancers and is often combined with surgery or chemotherapy.
Dr. Charu Garg uses advanced technologies such as IMRT, IGRT, RapidArc, Tomotherapy, and 3D-Conformal Radiation Therapy (3D-CRT) to deliver highly precise treatment.
Radiation therapy itself is painless, although some temporary side effects may occur depending on the treatment area.
Many early-stage head and neck cancers can be successfully treated with timely diagnosis and appropriate therapy.
