Head & Neck Cancer

Head and neck cancer refers to cancers that develop in the mouth, throat, larynx (voice box), sinuses, or other areas in the head and neck region. These cancers can arise due to various factors such as tobacco use, alcohol consumption, HPV infection, or genetic predisposition. Symptoms may include difficulty swallowing, persistent sore throat, unexplained lumps, or changes in the voice.

Dr. Chetashree Gavate specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of head and neck cancers, offering:

  • Comprehensive evaluation to accurately diagnose the type and stage of cancer through imaging and biopsy.
  • Surgical intervention to remove tumors, including minimally invasive procedures for tumors in the mouth, throat, and larynx.
  • Multimodal treatment options like radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy to manage and treat advanced stages of cancer.

With her expertise in ENT oncology, Dr. Gavate provides personalized care for patients, focusing on not only treating the cancer but also maintaining quality of life through speech, swallowing, and functional rehabilitation. She works closely with a multidisciplinary team to ensure the best outcomes for her patients, helping them recover and regain their health after treatment.
