Define Surgery Process for Head and Neck Tumor?

Treatment mostly involves combination of surgery and radiation. Chemotherapy is also used in some cases, we will learn about these therapies in a little while from now. But, remember radiation induces loss of taste (mouth blindness) and dry mouth (xerostomia). Injury to teeth may also occur. Surgery may include partial or total glossectomy (partial or total surgical excision of the tongue) and mandibulectoilly (re-section of the lower jaw). Sometimes they may do a surgery of the hard or soft palate, or of the soft tissues of the lower face and neck. These procedures add to the difficulties in chewing and swallowing. Aspiration of food on swallowing may be another serious problems.
