That’s why our team of specialists is dedicated to offering the most advanced, compassionate, and personalized head and neck surgery available.
What Is Head and Neck Cancer?
Head and neck cancers typically begin in the squamous cells lining the moist, mucosal surfaces inside the head and neck, including the mouth, throat, larynx (voice box), nasal cavity, and sinuses. They can also affect the salivary glands,thyriod and lymph nodes.
Common risk factors include:
- Tobacco and alcohol use
- Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection
- Prolonged sun exposure (for lip cancer)
- Poor oral hygiene and certain occupational exposures
The Role of Head and Neck Surgery in Treatment
Head and neck surgery is often a cornerstone in the treatment of these cancers. Depending on the location and stage of the cancer, surgery may involve:
- Tumor removal – excising the cancerous tissue while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible
- Lymph node dissection – removing lymph nodes in the neck to prevent the spread of cancer
- Reconstructive surgery – rebuilding areas affected by head and neck surgery using tissue grafts or flaps to restore function and appearance
- Rehabilitation
At PI Health Cancer Hospital, our surgical team collaborates closely with reconstructive surgeons, speech therapists, and oncologists to ensure optimal outcomes in both function and aesthetics.
