Head and Neck Oncologic Surgery

Head and neck oncologic surgery is a form of surgery used to treat cancer in areas such as the face, throat, mouth, and neck. This surgery typically involves the removal of cancerous tissue and any associated structures, such as lymph nodes, in order to stop the spread of cancer. This type of surgery is very important for diagnosing and treating head and neck cancers, as it can help remove visible tumors and stop the growth of cancerous cells. Additionally, head and neck oncologic surgery is often used alongside other cancer treatments such as radiation and chemotherapy, in order to increase the effectiveness of the patient's prognosis.
