Head and Neck Oncology
Head and Neck Oncology – Comprehensive Cancer Care at Cancer Conscious Clinics
Head and Neck Oncology focuses on cancers that originate in the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, nasal cavity, sinuses, salivary glands, and associated structures. At Cancer Conscious Clinics, we offer specialized and comprehensive care for patients diagnosed with head and neck cancers, aiming for organ preservation, functional recovery, and improved quality of life.
Led by Dr. Harish Dara, Consultant Surgical Oncologist and Robotic Oncosurgeon, and Dr. Srinivasa Tejaswini Adada, Consultant Medical Oncologist and Hematologist, our team brings a multidisciplinary and personalized approach to each patient’s treatment. We understand the complexity of these cancers and the impact they have on speech, swallowing, and appearance—therefore, we emphasize precise treatment strategies that prioritize function and aesthetics alongside survival.
We treat a wide range of head and neck cancers, including:
Oral cavity cancers (tongue, gums, cheek, floor of mouth)
Throat cancers (oropharynx, hypopharynx, nasopharynx)
Voice box (laryngeal) cancers
Salivary gland tumors
Nasal cavity and sinus tumors
Thyroid and parathyroid cancers
Metastatic lymph node involvement in the neck
Our comprehensive services include:
Advanced Surgical Treatments: Including minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgeries, microvascular reconstruction, and functional preservation techniques.
Medical Oncology Support: Chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapies customized based on tumor biology and patient profile.
Radiation Oncology Coordination: When indicated, we coordinate with top radiation oncologists for precise delivery of radiotherapy.
Speech and Swallow Rehabilitation: Post-treatment care to restore speech, swallowing, and nutrition.
Multidisciplinary Tumor Boards: Collaborative treatment planning involving surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, and rehabilitation experts.
We also emphasize early detection and prevention, especially in patients with high-risk factors such as tobacco and alcohol use, HPV infection, and chronic oral issues.
At Cancer Conscious Clinics, we are committed to delivering holistic and evidence-based care for head and neck cancers—ensuring that patients not only survive but thrive after treatment.
