Head and Neck Surgery
There has been a great deal of discussion recently about the link between HPV and oral cancer, and the ear, nose and throat doctors at ENT London are always on hand to help with advice and treatment.
Most mouth and throat cancers are caused by smoking and alcohol, but between 25% and 35% are caused by the HPV virus. The good news is that head and neck surgery results in a far greater 5 year disease free survival rate for HPV cancers than it does for other cancers. So although this kind of cancer is on the increase, the ENT specialists at ENT London are ideally placed to help.
The ENT doctors at ENT London offer a comprehensive range of head and neck surgery, including neck surgery to remove cancerous growths from the pharynx, voice box and thyroid glands.
Head and neck surgery for cancer is most effective if it is done early, so it is important that you see our ear, nose and throat doctors as soon as possible if you have any concerns or experience any of the early warning symptoms. These include a mouth ulcer that will not heal, a persistently hoarse voice or other throat problems that seem to be taking a long time to heal.
If you have any of these symptoms, talking to the ENT specialists at ENT London early, could have a huge impact on the success of any head and neck surgery you require, and on your long term recovery prospects.
Mouth cancer can start anywhere in the oral cavity, for example in the lining of the cheeks, behind the lips, in the tongue or gums, or even in the ‘corners’ of your mouth beyond the wisdom teeth. Throat cancers can occur anywhere in the throat. 90% of head and neck cancers are squamous cell carcinomas and are usually operable if caught in time.
Wherever your cancer is, the ENT specialists at ENT London can help, with skilled head and neck surgery to complement your other cancer treatments. ENT London offers swift treatment in excellent facilities, from the finest ENT doctors, to give you the best possible chance.
No one likes to consider cancer, but early detection is crucial, so if you are experiencing any of the symptoms described above, it’s well worth getting checked out by our ENT doctors. It’s a small price to pay for peace of mind if you are wrong, but there could be a big price to pay if you’re not.
