Symptoms & Treatments

Head and neck cancer symptoms may include a lump in the neck or a sore in the mouth or the throat that does not heal and may be painful, a sore throat that does not go away, difficulty in swallowing, and a change or hoarseness in the voice. These symptoms may also be caused by other, less serious conditions. It is important to check with a doctor or dentist about any of these symptoms.

Head and neck cancer treatment can include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or a combination of treatments. The treatment plan for an individual patient depends on a number of factors, including the location of the tumor, the stage of the cancer, and the person's age and general health. Surgery for head and neck cancers may affect the patient's ability to chew, swallow, or talk. Regular follow-up care is very important after treatment for head and neck cancer to make sure that the cancer has not returned and that a second primary (new) cancer has not developed. 

Best Doctors and Cost

Dr Singh is one of the best cancer specialist for the treatment of head and neck cancers at Bhanot Hospital, Gurgaon India. The cost of surgery for head and neck cancer depends upon the stage of the cancer. In most of the patients with early diagnosis neck dissection with hemi mandibulectomy may be advised. But ever patient is different and hence the cost of the same may vary. If you have an individual health insurance policy then this surgery is covered after a period of 2 years from the date of inception of the policy. However if you are a beneficiary of company given policy then the surgery is covered from day one. Always go through the terms of your health insurance policy like room rent capping and co-payment to avoid any kind of financial shocks later on.
