Oncology
An important branch is the evaluation and treatment of malignant tumours in the areas of the head and throat. These tumours can be located in the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, cervical lymph nodes, the salivary glands, facial skin or in the area of the nose and the paranasal sinuses. Some of these tumours cause symptoms, e.g. long-lasting hoarseness, swallowing disorders or visible neck mass, which the patient wants to clarify. Unfortunately, other tumours can grow “quietly”, i.e. largely without symptoms, so that they can only be detected at an advanced stage.
Through regular, thorough ENT-examinations using endoscopic techniques, malignant tumours can be detected and treated at an early stage.
