Cheek Cancer
Cheek cancer is a type of head and neck cancer that affects the skin, muscles, and other tissues of the cheek. Symptoms may include a lump or sore on the cheek, changes in the color or texture of the skin, or persistent pain. It is important to seek medical attention if you experience any of these symptoms.
Common Treatment Methods
Common treatments for cheek cancer include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy. Surgery is the most common treatment and involves removing the tumor and some surrounding tissue. Radiation therapy uses high energy X-rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells and can be used before or after surgery. Targeted therapy uses drugs to target specific cancer cells and stop them from growing and spreading.
KKR Hospital Approach
KKR Hospital offers a comprehensive suite of treatments for cheek cancer, including Neoadjuvant therapy. Neoadjuvant therapy is a form of treatment that is used before surgery to shrink a tumor, as well as to reduce the risk of metastasis. It is an effective way to reduce the amount of tissue that needs to be removed during surgery, and can help to improve the prognosis of the patient. Our team of highly-skilled oncologists and surgeons are experienced in providing Neoadjuvant therapy for cheek cancer, and can provide personalized care to ensure the best possible outcome.
