Oral Cancer Treatment in India

Oral cancer is part of a group of cancers called head and neck cancers. Oral cancer can develop in any part of the oral cavity or oropharynx. Most oral cancers begin in the tongue and in the floor of the mouth. Almost all oral cancers begin in the flat cells (squamous cells) that cover the surfaces of the mouth, tongue, and lips. These cancers are called squamous cell carcinomas. When oral cancer spreads (metastasizes), it usually travels through the lymphatic system. Cancer cells that enter the lymphatic system are carried along by lymph, a clear, watery fluid. The cancer cells often appear first in nearby lymph nodes in the neck. Cancer cells can also spread to other parts of the neck, the lungs, and other parts of the body. When this happens, the new tumor has the same kind of abnormal cells as the primary tumor. http://medworldindia.com/CancerTreatment/OralCancerTreatment.htm

Diagnosis of Oral Cancer

Biopsy: This is a painless medical procedure that removes a certain amount of tissue for a microscopic examination. Endoscopy: This is a minimally invasive, painless diagnostic procedure used to visualize interior surfaces of certain organs and cavities. PET (Positron Emission Tomography) Scans - PET scans use glucose (a form of sugar) that contains a radioactive atom. Computed Tomography (CT): This imaging test is similar to an x-ray test, and creates a detailed, cross-sectional image of the body. X-Rays - It shows the location, size, and shape of a oral tumor. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): An MRI is an advanced technique that uses radio waves and strong magnets to reveal a complete image of a targeted area of the body. Ultrasonography: Ultrasound imaging is a medical technique that uses highfrequency sound waves to create an interior image of the body on a special computer screen http://medworldindia.com/CancerTreatment/OralCancerTreatment.htm

Non Surgery Biological Therapy: The activity of the cancer cells is changed with the help of biological therapy. A type of biological therapy is known as Cetuximab that is also referred to as a monoclonal antibody. The surface of the cancer cells that triggers the development of cancer cells is blocked with the help of Cetuximab. Chemotherapy: This therapy makes use of drugs for destroying the cancer cells. The injection of these drugs is done into a vein. Chemotherapy can also be combined with radiation therapy. Radiotherapy: This therapy makes use of radiation for destroying cancer cells. This therapy shrinks the tumor by targeting a beam of radiation onto the cancer cells. Rarely, a radioactivity source can be implanted in the mouth that is known as Brachytherapy. The nearby tissues are not damaged by this therapy.
