Department of Head and Neck Tumors

The term “Head and Neck tumors” describes malignant neoplasms of various histological structures localized on the mucous membrane of the lips, in the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx and cervical esophagus, nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, salivary glands. The general concept of “Head and Neck tumors” does not include tumors of the central nervous system (CNS), eye tumors, primary tumors of the lymphatic system, tumors of the nervous and endocrine systems, which can also develop in this anatomical region.

Areas in which we deal:
• tumors of the scalp and neck
• tumors of the jaws
• tumors of the lips
• salivary gland tumors
• tumors of the oral mucosa
• tumors of the tongue
• tumors of the thyroid gland
• pharyngeal tumors
• tumors of the cervical esophagus
• laryngeal tumors
• soft tissue tumors of the neck
• tumors of the skull base
• tumors of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses.

More than 400 operations are carried out annually in the department, including about 100 high-tech and combined operations. The following operations are carried out in the department:
• different variants of cervical lymph node dissection
• total thyroidectomy
• parotidectomy
• laryngectomy
• resection of the larynx
• resection of hypopharynx
• excision of tumors of the skin and soft tissues of the head-neck by replacing the defect using free skin-muscular flap
• removal of nasopharyngeal tumors
• resection of the upper and lower jaws
• resection of the tongue, cheek, floor of the mouth
• various types of reconstructive plastic surgery – reconstruction of the mandible, oral cavity and pharynx using skin-muscle flaps
• reconstruction of the lower jaw with titanium metal plates
• for tumors of the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses and the base of the skull, extended-combined surgical procedures are performed.
The main scientific direction of the department:
The department conducts scientific work in the following areas:
• Epidemiological features of laryngeal cancer and the importance of molecular biological markers in the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of the disease;
• Optimization of treatment of patients with laryngopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma based on the study of prognostic factors;
• Optimization of treatment methods for locally advanced thyroid cancer;
• Development and improvement of reconstructive-restorative operations in patients with tumors in the head and neck;
• Improved treatment of soft tissue head and neck tumors.
