Head and Neck Cancer Treatment Options in Irvine

Our Irvine facility specializes in providing leading-edge head and neck cancer treatment in Orange County and surrounding areas. Our approach combines the latest cancer treatment technology with compassionate, personalized care. One of our key offerings is hyperthermia therapy, an innovative treatment that can enhance the effectiveness of traditional cancer therapies, improving outcomes for patients with head and neck cancer.

Head and neck cancers include a wide range of malignancies that develop in areas such as the throat, larynx, nose, sinuses, and mouth. These cancers are often linked to factors such as tobacco and alcohol use and infections like HPV. Symptoms can include persistent sore throats, difficulty swallowing, changes in voice, or lumps in the neck or mouth. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential, as these cancers can be aggressive and affect critical functions such as speech and breathing.

Medical Procedure

Hyperthermia Therapy for Head and Neck Cancer

Hyperthermia therapy is a cutting-edge treatment that uses controlled heat to target cancer cells, making them more susceptible to radiation and chemotherapy. By raising the temperature of the tumor to between 104°F and 113°F, this technique helps improve the effectiveness of other treatments, allowing for better outcomes. Heat damages cancer cells directly while enhancing the delivery of oxygen and treatment agents to the affected area.

Our Irvine center uses state-of-the-art hyperthermia equipment to deliver precise, localized treatment that targets only the cancerous tissues. This approach reduces the risk of damage to surrounding healthy tissue, offering a safer and more effective treatment option for patients with head and neck cancers.

Early diagnosis and treatment are essential, as these cancers can be aggressive and affect critical functions such as speech and breathing.

Our Irvine location offers a full spectrum of treatment options for head and neck cancers, allowing us to create individualized treatment plans based on each patient’s specific type and stage of cancer. Surgery is often the first step in treatment, aimed at removing the tumor and any affected tissues. Following surgery, radiation therapy is commonly used to target any remaining cancer cells, with external beam radiation being the most common technique for these cancers.

For more advanced cases, chemotherapy may be combined with radiation therapy to enhance the effectiveness of treatment. Targeted therapy may also be utilized, focusing on specific molecules involved in cancer growth. In addition to these standard treatments, our Irvine clinic offers hyperthermia therapy as a complementary option to boost the success of radiation and chemotherapy, making cancer cells more sensitive to these treatments.

Benefits of Hyperthermia Treatment

Patients in Irvine and Orange County who receive hyperthermia therapy for head and neck cancer can expect several advantages, including:

  • Enhanced Treatment Response: Hyperthermia increases the effectiveness of radiation and chemotherapy, improving the overall response to treatment.
  • Reduced Side Effects: Hyperthermia boosts the sensitivity of cancer cells, allowing for lower doses of radiation and chemotherapy, minimizing side effects.
  • Customized Care: Each treatment plan is tailored to the individual patient, ensuring that hyperthermia is used most effectively.
