জাতীয় ক্যান্সার গবেষণা ইনস্টিটিউট ও হাসপাতাল

Overview of the ENT Oncology Department:

 

The OPD is open every day except for government holidays and Fridays. Approximately 40 patients attend the OPD daily, referred from all over the country. We meticulously assess each patient, with some individuals being referred to the Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) for further evaluation. In the OPD, we perform Fine-Needle Aspiration (FNA) procedures. Select patients may also undergo FNA-guided biopsies, with the samples sent for histopathological examination. In addition, punch biopsies and lymph node excisional biopsies are performed on an outpatient basis.

 

Our In-Patient Department (IPD) comprises a total of 20 beds, equally divided into 10 for male and 10 for female patients. Surgical operations are scheduled on Saturdays and Tuesdays each week. These operations encompass various types of neck dissections, Wide Local Excision (WLE) of oral cavity lesions, as well as different types of thyroid surgeries, Direct Laryngoscopy (DL) biopsies, Total Laryngectomy, Partial Laryngectomy, and Total Laryngectomy followed by Voice Prosthesis placement. Procedures such as Tracheal Resection and Anastomosis, different Cordectomy approaches, Radical Tonsillectomy, and Wide Local Excision of oral cavity lesions followed by reconstruction using local flaps (Tongue flap, Palatal Flap, Submental Island Flap, Infrahyoid Flap) are also carried out. Furthermore, Pectoralis Major Myocutaneous Flap procedures, Submandibular Gland Excision, and superficial Total Conservative Radical Parotidectomy are included in our services.

 

Our department welcomes postgraduate students from various departments for an orientation in Head and Neck Surgical Oncology. We provide them with comprehensive training on how to diagnose and operate on head and neck cancer patients. A Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) convenes daily to make collaborative decisions regarding the treatment of head and neck cancer patients.

 

All our faculty members have received training both domestically and internationally, ensuring the highest standards of care and expertise in the field.
