Approximately 6% of all cancers diagnosed each year are associated with the head or neck. Most of these patients will recieve some type of chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy to fight the invading tumor cells.
Radiation and chemotherapy both tax the health of normal as well as cancerous tissues, and nowhere is this more evident than in the mouth.
Doctors Groh and Souviron have extensive experience and knowledge in preparing patients for and assisting them through their cancer treatment. They emphasize the prevention and early treatment of side effects so that patients can return to normal function as soon as possible, as well as maintaining good nutrition and a positive outlook.
