Oral cancer – modern treatment techniques

According to its histological characteristics and course features, oral cancer is included in the wider group of "head and neck tumours" and comprises neoplasms of the tongue, cheeks, and gums.

Oral cancer treatment aims to remove as much of the tumour and affected lymph nodes as possible, as well as destroy the remaining cancer cells with chemotherapeutic, targeted, and immunological drugs. The leading European clinics offer patients individualized treatment based on the molecular composition of their tumour, and also selective intra-arterial chemotherapy.
