Why Horizon: Head and neck cancers necessitate extremely skilled surgery. Dr. Srinivas Prasad specializes in the surgical treatment of benign and malignant tumors in the head and the neck area involving

  • Mouth, pharynx (throat)
  • Larynx (voice box)
  • Sinuses
  • Swellings of the thyroid, parathyroid, and neck
  • Salivary glands like parotid, submandibular & sublingual
  • Skin (facial, ear, and scalp), soft tissue, and bone tumors

When it comes to treating your cancer, we’ll use the following strategies to get the best results:

  • Modern surgical procedures and cutting-edge technologies such as lasers are used.
  • To achieve full cancer elimination, immediate frozen section biopsy control is used.
  • Tissue reconstruction (with local or free flaps) to restore appearance and organ function.
  • Nerve preservation procedures for tumors involving the parotid gland, thyroid gland & tongue
  • Preoperative Radiotherapy (radiation before operation) to achieve the best results in locally advanced tumors
  • Early-stage tumors are treated with radiation alone (like external RT or brachytherapy without operation) to preserve organs and functions like speech, chewing & swallowing
  • Salvage operations for recurrence after radiation & chemotherapy.
