These symptoms do not always mean cancer, but they should never be ignored. Early evaluation by an experienced Head and Neck Cancer Doctor can make all the difference.
How Is Head and Neck Cancer Diagnosed?
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment. The diagnostic process at Dr. Dabas's clinic typically includes:
Clinical Examination A thorough assessment of the mouth, throat, neck, and surrounding structures to identify any abnormalities.
Endoscopic Evaluation A flexible camera is used to examine areas of the throat and voice box that are not visible during routine examination.
Biopsy A small tissue sample is taken and examined under a microscope to confirm the diagnosis and identify the exact cancer type.
Advanced Imaging Depending on the case, imaging studies may include:
- CT Scan
- MRI Scan
- PET-CT Scan
- Ultrasound
These help determine the exact size and location of the tumour, whether lymph nodes are involved, and whether the cancer has spread elsewhere.
