FAQ's

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the early signs of oral cancer?

Early signs of oral cancer may include a persistent mouth ulcer, a lump inside the mouth, white or red patches, difficulty chewing or swallowing, jaw pain, or unexplained bleeding. If these symptoms last for more than two weeks, it is important to consult a Head & Neck Oncosurgeon. Early diagnosis significantly improves treatment outcomes.

When should I consult a Head & Neck Oncosurgeon?

You should consult a Head & Neck Oncosurgeon if you experience persistent mouth ulcers, neck swelling, difficulty swallowing, changes in your voice, unexplained throat pain, or if you've been diagnosed with a tumour in the head and neck region. Early evaluation allows timely diagnosis and effective treatment.

What cancers are treated by Dr. Nikhil Mitkar?

Dr. Nikhil Mitkar specializes in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of Oral Cancer, Tongue Cancer, Thyroid Cancer, Jaw Cancer, Salivary Gland Tumours, Parotid Tumours, Laryngeal & Hypopharyngeal Cancers, along with advanced reconstructive surgery and comprehensive cancer rehabilitation.

Is surgery the only treatment for head and neck cancer?

Not always. Treatment depends on the type, stage, and location of the cancer. Surgery may be combined with radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy. Every treatment plan is personalized to achieve the best possible outcome while preserving function and quality of life.

What is microvascular reconstructive surgery?

Microvascular reconstructive surgery is an advanced procedure used after cancer removal to restore the appearance and function of the affected area. Healthy tissue from another part of the body is transferred and connected using microscopic blood vessels, helping patients regain speech, swallowing, and facial function.

Will I be able to speak and swallow normally after surgery?

Many patients recover good speech and swallowing function after treatment. Depending on the type of surgery, rehabilitation and reconstructive procedures may be recommended to improve recovery. A personalized rehabilitation plan helps patients return to their daily activities as comfortably as possible.

How long does recovery take after surgery?

Recovery varies depending on the complexity of the surgery and the patient's overall health. Most patients gradually resume normal activities within a few weeks, while more extensive procedures may require a longer recovery period along with rehabilitation and regular follow-up care.

Can oral cancer be cured if detected early?

Yes. Early-stage oral cancer has an excellent chance of successful treatment when diagnosed and managed promptly. Regular oral examinations and timely medical attention for persistent mouth ulcers or unusual symptoms play a crucial role in early detection.

Why is long-term follow-up important after cancer treatment?

Regular follow-up appointments help monitor recovery, detect any recurrence at an early stage, manage treatment-related side effects, and support long-term health. Continued follow-up is an essential part of comprehensive cancer care and survivorship.

How do I book an appointment with Dr. Nikhil?
