Oral Cancer Services

Treatment:

Treatment for oral precancerous lesion or dysplasia depends on the severity of the dysplasia. A biopsy is usually performed, and the pathologist will classify the severity along a spectrum from mild to severe.

• Medical Therapy: This involves several topical medicaments that can help reverse the condition
• Surgical Therapy: Our team of experts can offer CO2 laser ablation with minimal morbidity and immediate return to normal quality of life.

Treatment:

• Chemotherapy: Systemic treatment that uses drugs to kill cancer cells.
• Radiation Therapy: Targeted treatment that uses high-energy rays to destroy cancer cells.
• Immunotherapy: Treatments that harness the body’s immune system to fight lymphoma.
• Stem Cell Transplant: In certain cases, a transplant may be necessary to restore healthy bone marrow.

Treatment:

Treatment for oral malignant melanoma typically involves a combination of approaches:

• Surgical Operation: The primary treatment involves removing the tumor along with a margin of healthy tissue to ensure complete removal.
• Radiation Therapy: Used with surgery or as an alternative when surgery is not possible. It targets remaining cancer cells and/or helps reduce tumor size.
• Chemotherapy: May be used, particularly in advanced stages of the disease.
• Immunotherapy: An emerging treatment that uses agents to stimulate the immune system to attack cancer cells, especially for metastatic melanoma.
  • Targeted Therapy: For melanomas with specific genetic mutations, targeted drugs may be used.

Treatment:

Treatment options for salivary gland cancer are based on the tumor's type, stage, and location and may include:

• Surgical Operation: The primary treatment involves removing the tumor along with a margin of healthy tissue. In some cases, nearby lymph nodes may also be removed.
• Radiation Therapy: Used either as a follow-up to surgery to target remaining cancer cells or as a primary treatment when surgery is not possible.
• Chemotherapy: May be utilized, particularly for aggressive or metastatic cases.
  • Targeted Therapy: In some instances, drugs that target specific genetic mutations in cancer cells may be employed.

Treatment:

Treatment options for Squamous Cell Carcinoma depends on the location, size, and stage of the cancer and may include:

• Surgical Operation: Removing the tumor along with a margin of healthy tissue to ensure complete removal.
• Mohs Surgery: A precise technique where cancerous skin is removed layer by layer until no further cancerous cells are detected.
• Radiation Therapy: Used with surgery or as a primary treatment when surgery is not possible, to target remaining cancer cells or reduce tumor size.
• Chemotherapy: Often used for advanced cases or when the cancer has spread beyond the primary site.
• Topical Chemotherapy: Application of chemotherapy agents directly to the skin for superficial Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
• Immunotherapy: Utilizes drugs to stimulate the body’s immune system to attack cancer cells, especially in advanced cases or when Squamous Cell Carcinoma has specific genetic mutations.
