Cancer Surgery
Cancer Surgery/Leukoplakia involves the removal of abnormal white patches (leukoplakia) that may develop in the mouth, tongue, or throat, which can sometimes progress to cancer. Leukoplakia is often linked to tobacco use, alcohol consumption, or chronic irritation. If detected early, surgical removal of the affected tissue can prevent the progression to oral cancer. This procedure is typically performed by an ENT or head and neck surgeon, using precise methods to ensure complete removal while preserving healthy tissue. Early intervention and regular monitoring are crucial to effectively managing the condition and reducing the risk of cancer development.
Key Points:
Diagnosis and Assessment: Early diagnosis of leukoplakia is crucial. Biopsy and imaging studies help determine whether the lesions are benign or indicative of malignancy.
Surgical Intervention: Surgical procedures may involve the excision of leukoplakic lesions and surrounding tissues to ensure complete removal and minimize the risk of cancer progression.
Preventive Measures: Regular monitoring of leukoplakia is essential. Patients are advised to avoid risk factors such as tobacco, excessive alcohol, and irritants that may exacerbate the condition.
Reconstruction and Rehabilitation: After surgery, reconstructive techniques may be needed to restore functionality and aesthetics, particularly in cases involving the oral cavity or throat.
Follow-Up Care: Continuous follow-up is vital for early detection of any recurrence or new lesions. A tailored follow-up plan can improve outcomes and quality of life for patients.
