MACS Clinic Facilitates Voice Preservation in Throat Cancer Recovery with Timely and Appropriate Treatment

Bangalore: Dr. Sandeep Nayak, a leading oncologist and founder of MACS Clinic, Bangalore, is thrilled to share the inspiring story of a 65-year-old Ms. A, who conquered early-stage vocal cord cancer using an organ preservation approach.

Ms. A patient approached Dr. Sandeep Nayak with an earnest request to treat her for early-stage vocal cord cancer while retaining her voice, i.e., her talking ability, which is her main source of expression. Laryngeal cancer is a malignancy of the tissues of the voice box, also known as the larynx. A person with laryngeal cancer will complain of persistent hoarseness and/or cough and difficulty swallowing.

According to Ms. Vishaka Goyal, the co-founder of ClinicSpots (a doctor discovery platform), Dr. Sandeep Nayak is an expert in robotic surgery and is one of the best oncologists in India.  He has developed two noteworthy surgical approaches, i.e., Robotic Assisted Breast Axillo Insufflate Thyroidectomy) and MIND (Minimally Invasive Neck Dissection) to treat thyroid and throat cancers. He has acquired excellence in minimally invasive surgical techniques, especially minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic surgeries.

After an in-depth examination, Dr Sandeep Nayak recommended an intense course of radiotherapy, which is known for excellent outcomes, especially in treating early or locally advanced laryngeal cancers.  She was referred to Dr Nisha Vishnu, Radiation Oncologist at the MACS clinic who proceeded to treat her. Therefore, Ms. A underwent an intense course of radiotherapy. Radiotherapy is used as a standalone treatment or in conjunction with chemotherapy for completely curing cancer and helping to preserve the affected organ. Anita’s journey began with a 28-day intense course of radiotherapy, a treatment modality that has shown promising results in early or locally advanced laryngeal cancers.

Dr. Nisha Vishnu, a leading radiation oncologist, explains that this approach, whether used alone or in conjunction with chemotherapy, enables doctors to completely cure cancer while preserving the affected organ. Organ preservation is a proven treatment option for early-stage cancers. It eradicates cancer cells and minimizes damage to healthy tissues and affected organs.

As the Chief Oncologist at the MACS Clinic, Dr Sandeep Nayak states, ‘Organ preservation plays a crucial role during the treatment of early-stage cancer as it reduces the impact on daily life and improves cosmetic outcomes. Now, it is possible to offer customized treatment plans and focus on organ preservation because of advanced personalized medicine.’

During a recent medical check-up at the MACS Clinic after completing her second year of cancer treatment, Ms. A expressed her gratitude. She is one of the first-rate examples of how timely medical intervention can help patients overcome laryngeal cancer without sacrificing their verbal communication ability.

He further states that early detection and tailored treatment plans go a long way in achieving recovery from cancer. Advancements in medical science have made it possible to overcome cancer and preserve patients’ quality of life.
