Frequently Asked Questions
Surgery involves removing the cancerous tumor and a margin of healthy tissue around it. Depending on the cancer, this may also include removing lymph nodes in the neck. The goal is complete removal of the cancer while preserving vital functions like speech, swallowing, and appearance.
For larger tumors, reconstructive surgery is often a key part of the treatment plan. Dr. Anvesh works closely with reconstructive surgeons to perform microvascular free flap reconstructions, which use tissue from other parts of your body to rebuild the area, ensuring the best possible functional and cosmetic outcome.
