Frequently asked questions

Can a sore on the tongue be dangerous?
Most sores are harmless and heal on their own. However, if you have a lesion that does not heal after several weeks, it is important that we evaluate it during a consultation to rule out a tumor.
Will laser laryngeal microsurgery affect my voice?
This procedure specifically aims to preserve your voice as much as possible. The final outcome will depend on the exact size and location of the lesion, details we will analyze together before the procedure.
When should I worry about a swollen lymph node in my neck?
Most lymph nodes swell due to common infections and resolve on their own. You should consult a doctor if the node lasts for more than two weeks, continues to grow, or does not shrink in size.
How do I know if a mole on my face is suspicious for skin cancer?
You can use the ABCDE rule to identify a suspicious mole: asymmetry, irregular borders, varied color, diameter larger than 6 millimeters, or evolving shape. If you notice these changes, I look forward to seeing you in my office.
How much does head and neck tumor treatment cost?
The exact cost cannot be determined in advance, as it depends on the initial medical evaluation. During the consultation, we will determine the type of surgery or procedure you need based on your specific case.
What is a glossectomy and how does it affect speech?
It is a surgery to remove part or all of the tongue due to a tumor. Since it can affect how you articulate words, we plan the procedure in detail to support you through your recovery.
