Multidisciplinary Team Approach

Our Surgical cancer experts evaluate and treat all types and stages of head and neck cancers, from early lesions to the rarest and most challenging cases. Depending on the type of treatment, our treating team may include Head and neck surgeons, Breast Cancer Surgeons, Gynae-oncology Surgeons, Gastrointestinal Surgeons, Uro-oncology Surgeons, Bone and Soft Tissue Surgeons, Neuro Surgeons, Laparoscopic Surgeons, Medical and Radiation oncologist, Dentist or Maxillofacial Surgeon, Reconstructive Surgeon, Nutritionists, social worker and speech, voice, and swallowing therapists.

Our trained and skilled Surgical Oncologist plays the major role while selecting the operable cases, performing a complete surgery by removing the cancerous body part which has clear margins and removing all the lymph nodes. During surgery dissected specimen is sent for a frozen section to the Oncopathologist for immediate report on the margins. If the margins of the dissected body part are not free from cancer, further dissection is carried out to achieve clear margins to prevent recurrences. The quality of the surgery determines the postoperative quality of the life of the patient.
