Treatment Options for Oral Cancer

At Felix Hospital, we adopt a multidisciplinary approach to oral cancer treatment, utilizing evidence-based therapies to achieve the best possible outcomes. Our treatment options include:

 

  • Surgery

Surgery is often a primary treatment for oral cancer. Our skilled oncologists are experienced in performing various surgical procedures, such as:

  • Tumor Resection: Removal of the tumor and affected tissue.

  • Neck Dissection: Removal of lymph nodes to manage cancer spread.

  • Reconstructive Surgery: Restoration of oral function and appearance post-surgery.

 

  • Chemotherapy  

Chemotherapy may be used in conjunction with surgery to target remaining cancer cells and reduce the risk of recurrence. Our oncologists tailor chemotherapy regimens to each patient’s specific needs, considering factors such as disease stage and overall health.

 

  • Radiation Therapy  

Radiation therapy is often used to treat oral cancer, either alone or in combination with surgery and chemotherapy. Our radiation oncologists may use external beam radiation therapy or brachytherapy (internal radiation) to target cancerous cells.

 

  • Targeted Therapy  

In some cases, targeted therapies may be recommended to target specific genetic mutations or pathways involved in cancer cell growth and spread.
