When we say head and neck cancers, cancers of the lips, tongue of the mouth and the palate. The inner cheek and the nose and throat area fall into this group as well.
Oral cavity cancers are the second most common head and neck cancer.
The oral cavity, which includes areas such as the lips, tongue, top of the mouth, hard palate, and buccal mucosa, is a more dangerous area compared to other head and neck cancers due to the course of the cancer.
The most important point in treating these patients is to determine the appropriate treatment for the stage of the disease and to find the most appropriate approach for the patient with careful team work during treatment planning.
Our Al-Farabi Hospital makes the final decision on the treatment that will be offered to patients through the councils, which is one of the requirements of a university hospital. Each patient is evaluated by our expert trainers.

What we want to say about this patient is: “The surgical treatment has been completed in the most appropriate manner. The patient is interviewed in detail for the next treatment steps. The rest of the treatment will continue. With high morale and motivation.”
