What is gum cancer?

It is a form of oral cancer, which initiates on the surface of the gum. It is one kind of skin cancer, which is technically termed ‘squamous cell carcinoma.’ It appears as a sore, a lump, or simply, a growth in the mouth that does not go away or heal easily.

How does Dr.Subhankar Deb Clinic treat gum cancer in Kolkata?

In its very early stage, the disease can be treated using radiation therapy. However,Dr.Subhankar Deb believes, surgery is the main treatment option for gum cancer. This approach can completely cure the disease with a success rate of 90-95% in early cases. Sometimes, radiation is needed post surgery. But, the usage of chemotherapy is very limited in this. After the cancer is eradicated, a reconstructive surgery is done to restore the removed structures. Also, if need, you will have to undergo a rehabilitation session to learn how to eat and talk again.
