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.

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 high-frequency sound waves to
  create an interior image of the body on a special
  computer screen

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.
