What is Tumor Removal?
Tumor removal involves the surgical excision of abnormal growths in the mouth, jaw, or surrounding areas. These growths can vary in size and type, ranging from benign cysts to potentially malignant tumors. Identifying and removing tumors as early as possible is essential in maintaining your overall well-being.
Why Tumor Removal Matters
Early intervention in tumor removal is crucial for several reasons:
- Preventing Growth: Tumors can grow and cause pain, discomfort, or interference with normal functions like speaking and eating.
- Preserving Function: Tumors located in sensitive areas can impact facial features, speech, and chewing ability. Removing them early can preserve these functions.
- Reducing Risk: Catching malignant tumors early offers a better chance of effective treatment, potentially preventing the spread of cancer.
