Oral Cancer Treatment in Harrow
Early diagnosis and surgical treatment for cancers of the mouth, tongue and jaw.
For Harrow residents, an oral cancer pathway based at Northwick Park (HA1 3UJ) means definitive surgery and reconstruction happen at the same site as the multidisciplinary team meetings. Follow-up imaging, oncology clinics and speech and language therapy are also on site, removing the need to travel into Central London for the 5-year surveillance schedule.

About oral cancer treatment
Oral squamous cell carcinoma is diagnosed by incisional biopsy under local anaesthetic, usually at the first appointment. Staging combines an MRI of the oral cavity and neck with a contrast-enhanced CT of the chest, and — in higher-stage disease — a PET-CT. Definitive treatment is discussed at a head and neck multidisciplinary meeting and typically involves wide local excision with a neck dissection, followed by reconstruction using a free flap where a significant defect remains. Mr Farook works with a fixed team of oncologists, radiologists and speech and language therapists so the pathway from biopsy to surgery is measured in days, not weeks.
