Track: Oral Oncology

Oral Oncology

Oral Oncology in ENT focuses on diagnosing and treating cancers of the mouth, throat, and related structures. It involves comprehensive care, including surgical interventions, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, to effectively manage these complex diseases.

Oral Oncology specializes in diagnosing and treating cancers of the oral cavity, including the lips, tongue, gums, and mouth. It involves comprehensive management through surgical removal of tumors, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy to address and eliminate cancer. Additionally, it includes reconstructive surgery to restore function and appearance after treatment. The goal is to effectively manage cancer while improving the patient's quality of life and overall health outcomes.

Thyroid Tumor Pathology: Studies tumors of the thyroid gland, including benign nodules and malignant cancers like thyroid carcinoma, focusing on diagnosis, staging, and treatment.

Sinus: Refers to conditions affecting the sinus cavities, such as sinusitis, which involves inflammation and infection causing facial pain and nasal congestion.

Tuberculosis of the Larynx: A rare form of tuberculosis affecting the larynx (voice box), causing symptoms like hoarseness, throat pain, and difficulty swallowing, requiring antibiotic treatment.

Transoral Robotic Surgery: A minimally invasive technique using robotic systems to perform surgeries through the mouth, allowing precise removal of tumors and treatment of throat and oral cancers.

Pathology of the Head and Neck: Encompasses the study and diagnosis of diseases affecting the head and neck region, including cancers, infections, and congenital conditions.

Gene Therapy: An experimental treatment that involves altering genes within a patient's cells to treat or prevent diseases, including genetic disorders and potentially some cancers.

Oral Cancer: Refers to malignancies of the oral cavity, including the lips, tongue, and gums, often requiring a combination of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy for treatment.
