Head & Neck Oncology
Cancer is a huge public health issue all over the world. Each year, thousands of new cases of the oral cavity and pharynx cancer are estimated to occur. Every year, many of these cases result in fatalities. Chronic alcohol and cigarette usage are the most prevalent causal factors in oral cavity cancers, yet these diseases can occur in anybody. Human papillomavirus (HPV) subtypes have been linked to an increased risk of some malignancies of the oropharynx, the area behind the oral cavity. The severity or stage of cancer at the time of diagnosis is a primary factor in determining proper treatment and defines prognosis.

We provide comprehensive, tailored care to individuals with benign or malignant oral and maxillofacial cancers.
