Treatment options for head and neck cancers depend on the cancer’s location, stage, and the patient’s overall health. Here are some common treatment approaches: Surgery: Removing the cancerous tissue. Radiation Therapy uses high-energy beams to kill cancer cells. It is usually used after surgery for advanced-stage cancers.  Chemotherapy: uses drugs to kill cancer cells. It can be used alone or in combination with other treatments. It is usually used after surgery and in combination with radiation therapy in advanced-sage cancers.  Immunotherapy: This modality helps the immune system fight cancer and is often used for advanced cases. Although it shows great promise, it is currently reserved for patients with recurrent or non-salvageable disease.  Combination Therapy: A combination of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy to increase effectiveness. Supportive Care: Nutritional support, speech therapy, and pain management to help cope with treatment side effects. 💬 Which treatment option are you most curious about?

🚭 Did you know that smoking is one of the primary risk factors for developing oral cancer? Tobacco smoke contains carcinogens that can damage DNA in the cells of the oral cavity, leading to mutations and cancer. The risk is even greater when smoking is combined with alcohol, as both substances have synergistic effects that significantly increase the likelihood of cancer development. Protect your health by understanding these risks and taking preventive action. For more information on reducing your risk, visit our website or call us today ☎️ 773-245-5253. https://lnkd.in/ePETwXRQ  #OralCancer #SmokingRisks #CancerPrevention #HealthAwareness #OralHealth #StopSmoking #PatientCare #OralCancerInstitute #PreventiveCare #Healthcare

🔬 Understanding Oral Dysplasia Grading: Oral dysplasia is graded based on the extent of abnormal cell changes seen under a microscope. The grading includes mild (lower third of epithelium), moderate (middle third), and severe (more than two-thirds). Severe dysplasia has a high risk of progressing to invasive cancer. Regular screenings and early interventions are essential to prevent progression.
