Head and neck cancers are among the types of cancer that can be treated when diagnosed early. Most of the head and neck cancers show symptoms in the early period. If symptoms are noticed early and the doctor is warned early, it can be easier for the doctor to make the correct diagnosis in time. The treatment of each patient is different and more than one factor such as the location and stage of the disease, the patient's age and other health problems are effective in the treatment decision. These treatments, which require a multidisciplinary study, include different options such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy, operation and targeted therapies.
What is Oncology?
Oncology is a branch of science that examines the formation, causes, diagnosis, treatment and relationship of tumors in the body with heredity. It examines non-cancerous cells as well as cancerous cells. This broadens the fields of interest in oncology. Medical oncology, which examines chemotherapy applications which means treatment of cancer with medication, also examines cancer prevention, cancer screening and early diagnosis applications. Radiation oncology is a medical science that studies the effects of treatment procedures using radiotherapy on cancer cells. Cancer surgeries are often performed by oncological surgeons with advanced expertise in the surgery of the respective cancer.
