A diagnosis of Head and Neck Cancer in Delhi demands a team that moves fast and plans every step. At PSRI Hospital, our surgical oncologists, radiation oncologists, and medical oncologists sit together at a tumour board review before a single treatment line is drawn. We manage cancers of the oral cavity, larynx, pharynx, thyroid, salivary glands, and sinonasal tract through a process that sequences surgery, radiation, and systemic therapy around your scan reports and pathology.

The Versius Robotic System gives our surgeons high-definition access to deep-seated tumours. Our NABL-accredited lab processes biopsies around the clock, and a 24×7 blood bank stands ready. A separate Neuro and Stroke ICU and a Medical ICU back every major resection. A patient walking into PSRI for Head & Neck Cancer in Delhi leaves with a written plan, not a guess.

Our Treatments


A suspicious lump, a non-healing mouth ulcer, or a change in voice is the starting point. At PSRI Hospital, our head and neck cancer team begins with a nasal endoscopy, laryngoscopy, or a targeted biopsy. We map the tumour precisely using a multislice CT scanner and MRI, then stage it before the tumour board sets a treatment sequence. Surgery, radiation, or a combination of both forms the main line of attack. Our approach to Head & Neck Cancer in Delhi is built on sequencing therapy so that function, speech, and swallow remain as intact as possible.

We treat each case with three disciplines in the same room. A surgical oncologist plans the resection margin. A radiation oncologist contours the target volume. A medical oncologist layers in systemic therapy where the histopathology calls for it. We also treat related cancers such as Blood Cancer in Delhi within the same oncology unit. A speech and swallow therapist joins the team before the first major procedure, so rehabilitation is part of the plan, not an afterthought.

Head & Neck Cancer Procedures We Offer


A head and neck cancer treatment path at PSRI starts with a tissue diagnosis. A surgeon performs a punch biopsy or a fine-needle aspiration from the neck node. That tissue goes to our NABL-accredited lab for a same-day report. A CT and MRI follow, and the tumour board stages the disease before you are given a date for the first definitive step. The sequence protects your airway, speech, and swallowing from the outset. We also treat Gastrointestinal Cancer in Delhi with the same tumour-board-led protocol.

Conditions and Risk Factors We Address


Most head and neck cancers begin in the squamous cells that line the mucosal surfaces inside the mouth, throat, and voice box. Tobacco and alcohol use remain the strongest risk factors. The human papillomavirus drives a rising share of oropharyngeal cancers. Our team treats the full pathology spectrum, from early glottic cancers caught on a voice change to advanced oral cavity tumours requiring composite resection and reconstruction. Treatment depends on the site, stage, and molecular markers reported on the biopsy.

Salivary Gland Tumours

Thyroid Malignancy

Frequently asked questions (FAQ’s)


In India, head and neck cancer treatment typically ranges from ₹3,30,000 to ₹9,00,000. The actual figure depends on the stage, the surgery needed, and whether radiation or immunotherapy is added. At PSRI, we give a detailed estimate only after the tumour board reviews your scans and biopsy report.

Radiation therapy for head and neck cancer is fractionated, delivered five days a week. Most patients need 30 to 35 sittings over six to seven weeks. The radiation oncologist calculates the exact number and dose after contouring the target volume on your planning CT scan.

Robotic surgery using the Versius system suits early oropharyngeal and some laryngeal tumours where the surgeon can access the site through the mouth. It avoids a jaw-splitting incision. Candidacy depends on the tumour location and size, determined by your CT and MRI staging at our best cancer hospital in delhi.

Most patients stay in hospital for three to five days after the operation. The drain tube in the neck comes out once the output drops. You can resume light activity around the house by the second week. Return to work depends on the extent of the dissection and whether reconstruction was done.

Free flap reconstruction, microvascular work, a longer theatre time, and two surgical teams working in tandem raise the cost. A simple wide local excision costs less. The need for post-operative radiation or immunotherapy also adds to the total. Your estimate will list each component separately.

For early glottic cancers, a laser cordectomy or radiation alone can preserve a functional voice. For advanced disease, a total laryngectomy may be necessary. In those cases, a speech therapist starts working with you before surgery on voice prosthesis or oesophageal speech techniques.

Most health insurance policies cover cancer treatment, and PSRI Hospital processes cashless claims through TPAs, CGHS, and ECHS. Bring your policy card and a photo ID to the billing desk. Our team handles the pre-authorisation so you can focus on the next step.

A tumour board review places the surgeon, radiation oncologist, and medical oncologist at the same table with your pathology and radiology. They agree on a single treatment sequence rather than three separate opinions. This joint decision sets the order for surgery, radiation, or systemic therapy clearly.
