Affordable Oral Cancer Treatment in India

Understanding Oral Cancer

Oral cancer, also known as mouth cancer or oral cavity cancer, involves the growth of cancerous cells in various parts of the oral cavity, including the lips, tongue, and floor of the mouth. It is a prevalent form of cancer, and early detection significantly increases the chances of successful treatment. The most well-known type of oral cancer is squamous-cell carcinoma.

Cost of Oral Cancer Treatment in India

The cost of oral cancer treatment in India varies by city and hospital. Generally, the average cost for oral cancer surgery ranges between INR 2,35,000 and INR 5,00,000. Prices can differ based on factors such as the stage of the cancer, patient age, and treatment complexity. For example, in Hyderabad, treatment costs range from INR 2,30,000 to INR 5,00,000.

Preparing for Oral Cancer Treatment

• Initial Assessment: Your doctor will recommend blood tests and imaging to evaluate your overall health.
• Early-Stage Treatment: Surgery is often preferred for early-stage oral cancer due to its high success rate in preventing recurrence.
• Advanced-Stage Treatment: If the cancer is advanced, a combination of surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy may be required over several months.

Treatment Options for Oral Cancer

• Surgery: This is the primary method for removing early-stage tumors and may include reconstructive surgery to rebuild affected areas.
• Radiation Therapy: Uses high-energy beams, like X-rays, to target and destroy cancer cells. It is often used for advanced-stage cancers to alleviate symptoms.
• Chemotherapy: Involves anti-cancer drugs to kill or inhibit the growth of cancer cells, usually in conjunction with radiation therapy.
• Targeted Drug Therapy: Focuses on specific proteins in cancer cells to disrupt their growth, effectively targeting and destroying cancer cells.
