Head and neck cancer treatment is done to remove or destroy cancer cells and prevent the cancer from spreading to other parts of the body. The goal is not only to treat the cancer but also to preserve vital functions such as speech, swallowing, breathing and appearance as much as possible.
You should consult a doctor if you experience a persistent lump or swelling in your neck, trouble speaking or swallowing, non-healing mouth sores, chronic hoarseness or sore throat, unexplained weight loss, or symptoms like ear pain or facial numbness, you should see a doctor.
Preparation includes detailed medical evaluations such as imaging scans and biopsies. Doctors may advise stopping smoking and alcohol,improving nutrition, and managing existing medical conditions.
Treatment depends on the cancer type and stage. It may involve surgery to remove the tumor, followed by radiation therapy or chemotherapy to destroy remaining cancer cells. In some cases, non- surgical treatments like radiation or chemoradiation alone may be used.
The duration of treatment varies: surgery lasts 2-6 hours, while radiation and chemotherapy might last several weeks, resulting in a total treatment time of a few weeks to months.
Possible risks & complications include:
Recovery depends on treatment type. Patients may need speech, swallowing, and nutritional support. Most patients can gradually resume normal activities over 4-8 weeks, though complete recovery may take longer.
