FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
A Head & Neck Surgical Oncologist is a surgeon who specializes in diagnosing and surgically treating cancers affecting the mouth, tongue, throat, voice box (larynx), thyroid, salivary glands, neck, and related structures. They also perform reconstructive procedures to restore function and appearance after cancer surgery.
You should seek a consultation if you have symptoms such as:
- A mouth ulcer that does not heal within 2–3 weeks
- A persistent neck lump
- Difficulty swallowing
- Persistent hoarseness or voice changes
- Unexplained bleeding from the mouth
- Persistent sore throat
- Difficulty opening the mouth
- A thyroid swelling or enlarged neck gland
Early evaluation can significantly improve treatment outcomes.
No. Many neck lumps are caused by infections, cysts, or other non-cancerous conditions. However, a neck lump that persists for more than two weeks, especially in adults, should be evaluated by a specialist to determine the underlying cause.
Dr. Gurukeerthi specializes in the surgical management of:
- Oral Cancer
- Tongue Cancer
- Buccal Mucosa Cancer
- Throat (Pharyngeal) Cancer
- Laryngeal (Voice Box) Cancer
- Thyroid Cancer
- Salivary Gland Tumors
- Neck Tumors
- Selected Skull Base Tumors
Treatment plans are tailored to each patient’s condition and stage of disease.
Not always. Treatment depends on the type, size, location, and stage of the cancer. Some patients may require surgery alone, while others benefit from a combination of surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or targeted therapies. Every treatment plan is individualized.
