Comprehensive Guide of Oral Cancer Treatment in India

Oral cancer is cancer that forms in the portion of the mouth. It may be present inside the cheeks, roof, or palate of the mouth, on the surface of the tongue, or on gums and lips.  According to studies

Published: 22 Mar, 2023

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is early detection so important?

While late diagnosis lowers survival rates to roughly 50%, early diagnosis can raise them to 90%. Due to treatment delays and the potential for tumor spread to lymph nodes, a delayed diagnosis worsens control and raises complications. Frequent dental screenings and self-examinations are essential. In India, oral cancer screenings are performed by dentists as part of standard examinations.

What is the oral cancer survival rate in India?

Depending on site, stage, and socioeconomic factors, the 10-year survival rate in India varies widely, ranging from about 18% to 57%. Rates are higher than 85–90% for early localised disease, but the results are significantly worse for late-stage diagnoses.

Should I consult an ENT surgeon or a maxillofacial surgeon?

Both play a role in the treatment of oral cancer. Maxillofacial surgeons perform reconstructive, oral, and jaw surgeries. ENT surgeons frequently treat cancers of the throat, tongue base, and oropharynx. Surgeons, oncologists, dentists, and speech therapists collaborate on the multidisciplinary treatment. Medigence offers services such as teleconsultation and second opinion services through its platform.

Can I get a second opinion from another doctor?

NHS patients indeed have the right to a second opinion, especially when it comes to cancer treatment. Private consultations may also offer different perspectives or faster access. A second opinion can help clarify surgical risks, treatment type, and staging.

What credentials should my cancer surgeon possess?

In addition to GMC registration, look for FRCS (ORL-HNS) or FRCS (OMFS) credentials. Expertise is demonstrated by participation in clinical trials, experience in microsurgical reconstruction, and membership in BAHNO or RCSEng.

What qualifies a hospital to treat oral cancer?

A Head & Neck MDT, reconstructive microsurgery services, radiotherapy/chemo-oncology facilities, speech and swallow therapy, and intensive care unit backup are some of the key features. High case volumes, accreditation, and a multidisciplinary team approach are essential. Other benefits include clinical outcome audits and participation in research.

Can hospitals aid in recovery after treatment?

Indeed, cancer centres offer rehabilitation services through counsellors, dietitians, dental teams, and speech and swallowing therapists. Support groups, psychological therapy, and outpatient follow-ups are frequently a part of recovery. Certain hospitals provide day units or rehabilitation wards exclusively for patients with head and neck cancer.

How can I locate the top oral cancer expert in India?

Consult NHS trust hospitals that have head and neck oncology units first. Seek out consultants with FRCS credentials and expertise in ENT oncology or oral/maxillofacial surgery. You can find specialists through referrals from your dentist or primary care physician.

How does one follow up?

Regular specialist reviews, physical examinations, and imaging tests (such as CT or PET scans) are all part of post-treatment follow-up to identify recurrence. Initially, check-ups occur every 6–8 weeks, then every 3–6 months, tapering off over a period of 5 years. Speech and dental evaluations continue the process of rehabilitation and restoration.

What is oral reconstructive surgery?

Following tumor removal, reconstruction restores appearance and function. Among the methods are local tissue flaps and free flaps (such as those on the fibula or radial forearm). This facilitates speech, chewing, swallowing, and cosmetic results. Speech therapy, physical therapy, and specialised nursing are all part of the recovery process.
