Individual Assessment
Our London clinic treats advanced jaw tumours, however as with most medical conditions, treating less invasive cases is equally important.
An experienced oral & maxillofacial consultant at our Harley Street clinic will carry out a detailed physical examination. They will discuss your personal and family medical history, how you feel about your condition.
The latest technology, for imaging, or microscopic evaluation can be used, which may avoid the need for a biopsy. This would in any event be taken with care, normally by the specialist carrying out your diagnosis.
A consultant’s experience in visually analysing cancers is the leading factor, although scientific back up can aid their view.
Diagnosis extends beyond what can be seen on your face, or within your mouth. Establishing whether deeper tissues have been affected is key to creating the right treatment plan for you.
Targeted Treatment
Radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or genetically engineered materials can play a part in oral and facial cancer treatment. Surgery is still the most common and effective approach, to see the cancer completely removed.
The precise form of surgery, or whether treatment is multi faceted, will depend on the type of cancer you have. How far this has progressed is taken into account, your wider health and other individual factors.
At all times you will be under the care of a specialist who understands aesthetic needs. Unnecessary tissue damage is avoided and skilled restoration techniques are adopted, where required following surgical care.
Treatment at our London clinic takes a supportive, partnership approach, aimed at your individual condition, symptoms and wishes. Part of a shared objective to see you cancer free, with minimal intervention.
Care At Harley Street
Care will be managed by the consultant you get to know. They are experienced oral & maxillofacial surgeons and can call on our multidisciplinary team, allowing us to offer every aspect of support you need.
Most care can be provided in house, including at our day surgery unit. If a hospital stay is required, this will be at a leading private hospital in London.
We understand the concerns oral, or facial cancers can bring to our patients. The prognosis may be worrying, along with the effect surgery can have on life, or appearance when the condition is deep rooted.
Fine treatment is provided for your condition and expert restorative surgery to meet aesthetic needs. By all means arrange to see a consultant if you have concerns, or talk to our knowledgeable team.
