Head & Neck Cancer may affect the oral cavity, throat, larynx, nasal cavity, sinuses, salivary glands and thyroid region. Each type may require specialized diagnosis and personalized treatment.
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 tumour control and reduce radiation exposure to surrounding healthy tissues, helping minimize treatment-related side effects for patients in South Delhi.
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, while 3D-CRT shapes radiation beams to match the tumour while reducing exposure to healthy tissue.
SBRT is used in selected cases, while SRS is recommended for selected brain lesions requiring highly focused, high-dose radiation.
An accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment planning, and typically includes physical examination, oral examination, flexible endoscopy, CT scan, MRI scan, PET-CT scan, ultrasound, biopsy, blood investigations and histopathology review.
