Treatment of Head and Neck Cancer at Top Ichilov
In the area of the head and neck, vital organs, blood vessels, and nerve trunks are concentrated in a relatively small anatomical space.
The choice of appropriate treatment for each specific type of cancer requires a comprehensive approach involving maxillofacial surgeons, radiation, and medical oncologists.
Treatment methods for most benign and malignant tumors of the head and neck remain standard in most cases. Head and neck cancer treatment is conducted using radiosurgical systems, radiation therapy, and maxillofacial and surgical operations.
Specialists in the oncology department of Top Ichilov also treat metastases in the cervical lymph nodes.
In most cases, patients with cancerous cervical adenopathy have the primary tumor located in the upper parts of the respiratory or digestive systems. Metastases to the cervical lymph nodes occur from lymphomas, lung cancer, prostate cancer, stomach cancer, colon cancer, kidney cancer, and others.
Radiation and radical excision of lymph nodes are used in the treatment of cervical lymph nodes with metastases.
Oncologists at Top Ichilov treat all types of cancer of the head and neck, including:
- Tumors and cancers of the oral cavity, lips, tongue, floor of the mouth, gums, and hard palate;
- Tumors and cancers of the nasopharynx;
- Tumors and cancers of the oropharynx;
- Tumors and cancers of the hypopharynx;
- Tumors and cancers of the larynx;
- Tumors and cancers of the trachea.
Specialists at Top Ichilov provide patients with head and neck oncology not only the opportunity to improve their quality of life but also to prolong life.
