Oral Cancer Treatment

Oral cancer treatment typically involves surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, depending on the stage and location of the cancer. Surgery aims to remove the tumor and any affected tissue. Radiation uses high-energy waves to target and kill cancer cells, often used after surgery to eliminate remaining cells. Chemotherapy involves medications that attack cancer cells throughout the body and may be used before or after surgery. Treatment plans are personalized, considering the patient's overall health and preferences, and may also include supportive care to manage side effects and aid recovery. Early detection can significantly improve outcomes.
