Oral Cavity and Throat

Oral Cancer Screening

Oral cancer screening is an examination performed by our Specialist doctors trained in the field of Head Neck Oncology to look for signs of cancer or precancerous conditions in your mouth. It includes thorough examination looking for red, white or black patches, ulcers or out growths and palpating with gloved fingers for lumps or swellings.

The goal of oral cancer screening is to identify mouth cancer early, when there is a greater chance for a cure. If there is any suspicious area the doctor might even advise further tests like a Biopsy to examine the cells under a microscope for a definite diagnosis.

Fibreoptic Laryngoscopy

Fibreoptic laryngoscopy is a form of indirect visualization of the voice box and the throat to look for abnormalities of voice, swallowing or for diagnosing lesions or foreign body in the throat. It also helps in planning surgeries and biopsy or guiding intubation.
