Diagnosis
A doctor will perform a thorough examination of the head, neck, throat, and oral cavity, and may order additional tests such as imaging (CT, MRI, PET) and biopsies (removal of a small tissue sample for examination under a microscope) to confirm the diagnosis.
Staging
Once cancer is confirmed, the doctor will use imaging and other tests to determine the stage of the cancer. This will help to determine the appropriate treatment plan.
Treatment
Depending on the stage and type of cancer, treatment may include one or more of the following:
- Surgery: The goal of surgery is to remove as much of the cancer as possible. This may involve removing a portion of the affected tissue or organ.
- Radiation Therapy: Radiation uses high-energy beams to kill cancer cells.
- Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells.
- Targeted Therapy: Uses drugs that target specific molecules on or in cancer cells that help them grow and survive.
Follow-Up
After treatment, the patient will need to have regular follow-up appointments to monitor for any recurrence of the cancer.
