Review of Brain Tumour Treatment at Top Ihilov

Head and Neck Tumours

Treatment of Head and Neck Cancer at Top Ihilov

In the area of the head and neck, vital organs, blood vessels, and nerve trunks are concentrated in a relatively small anatomical space.

The choice of appropriate treatment for each specific type of cancer requires a comprehensive approach involving maxillofacial surgeons, radiation, and medical oncologists.

Treatment methods for most benign and malignant tumours of the head and neck remain standard in most cases. Head and neck cancer treatment is performed using radiosurgical systems, radiation therapy, and maxillofacial and surgical operations.

Specialists in the oncology department of Top Ihilov also treat metastases in the cervical lymph nodes.

Head and Neck TumoursIn most cases, patients with cancerous cervical adenopathy have the primary tumour located in the upper parts of the respiratory or digestive systems. Metastases to the cervical lymph nodes occur from lymphomas, lung cancer, prostate cancer, stomach cancer, colon cancer, kidney cancer, and others.
In the treatment of cervical lymph nodes with metastases, radiation and radical excision of the lymph nodes are used.

Oncologists at Top Ihilov treat all cancers of the head and neck, including:

  • Tumours and cancer of the oral cavity, lips, tongue, floor of the mouth, gums, and hard palate;
  • Tumours and cancer of the nasopharynx;
  • Tumours and cancer of the oropharynx;
  • Tumours and cancer of the hypopharynx;
  • Tumours and cancer of the larynx;
