About us!
What We Do?
We at HNSBC, aim to practice evidence based management of tumors involving Head Neck and Skullbase Region.
This invariably involves a multidisciplinary decision making. We aim to routinely conduct MDT meeting involving Medical oncologist, Radiation Oncologist and Surgeon for providing tailor made treatment for individual patient.
• Otorhinolaryngologist for routine ENT care.
• Speech and Swallow therapist to help our pts post-surgery or Chemoradiation, for adequate rehabilitation.
• Pain specialist, for postop / postChemoradiation pts or palliative patients to avail the unbearable pain.
• Palliative care Physicians to provide care and also to help relatives learn how to take care of terminally ill patients.
• Physiotherapy – specially trained Oncophysiotherapist will help the cancer survivors to get back to near normal life and function adequately as early as possible.
• Dietitian – As our patients would suffer from inadequate nutrition due to the disease, trained dieticians would help them counter the stress of surgery and adjuvant treatment with minimal possible weight loss.
• Psychologist – in the torrid times of treatment where not just the patient but also the family needs some emotional support and motivation, a trained psychologist would help fill that gap.

Oral Cavity
The treatment for oral cavity primary tumors remains biopsy followed by Surgery. Adjuvant Radiation or Chemoradiation is advised depending on the final HPR report.
02.
Oropharynx
The ideal treatment of choice is biospy followed by Chemoradiation. Surgery is considered only in salvage setting, where there is residual disease post Chemoradiation at the primary site or in Neck nodes.
03.
Larynx and Hypopharynx
The treatment for these tumors in early stages is Radiation/Chemoradiation. But in locally advanced stages, the treatment is surgery followed by Radiation / Chemoradiation.
04.
Nose and Paranasal Sinuses
Treatment of choice is surgery, if operable, followed by Radiation / Chemoradiation. Few tumors which are chemo sensitive would need Chemotherapy first followed by surgery followed by Chemoradiation.
