Recurrent and advanced cancers pose significant challenges, requiring highly specialized treatment strategies. Dr. Dushyant Mandlik, an expert head and neck cancer surgeon, is dedicated to providing advanced and personalized treatment solutions to improve outcomes and enhance quality of life.
Understanding Recurrent & Advanced Cancer
- Recurrent Cancer: Cancer that has returned after initial treatment, either in the same location or in a different part of the body.
- Advanced Cancer: Cancer that has spread extensively (locally or to distant organs), making treatment more complex.
