About Nasal Cavity Cancer

Nasal cavity cancer surgery is a specialized procedure performed by head and neck surgeons to remove malignant tumors originating in the nasal passages. This complex operation aims to completely excise the cancerous tissue while preserving as much healthy structure and function as possible. Depending on the tumor's size and location, the approach may be endoscopic (minimally invasive through the nostrils) or open (requiring external incisions). The surgery is often part of a multimodal treatment plan that may include radiation and/or chemotherapy. Successful treatment requires a highly skilled surgical team to navigate the intricate anatomy of the nasal cavity and sinuses, balancing oncologic control with critical functions like breathing, smell, and facial appearance.

Had a persistent stomach issue that was affecting my work. Needed a doctor who wouldn't waste time. Dr. Sudharsan at MGM was direct, asked the right questions, and ordered only the necessary tests. Got a clear diagnosis and a treatment plan that worked. Back to my routine now.
