Dr. Yash Mathur - Head & Neck Cancer Surgeon in Mumbai

Dr. Yash Mathur is an experienced Consultant Head & Neck Oncosurgeon practicing at HCG Cancer Hospital, Borivali, Mumbai. He has around 10 years of dedicated experience in the surgical management of head and neck cancers, with particular expertise in oral, oropharyngeal and craniofacial malignancies.

He has completed his BDS and MDS in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery followed by specialised Fellowship training in Head & Neck Oncosurgery at Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai. He has also undergone advanced training in implant-based reconstruction of oral and craniofacial defects.

Dr. Yash Mathur specialises in the surgical treatment of cancers involving the tongue, cheek, lips, oral cavity, oropharynx, salivary glands and other structures of the head and neck. He is also experienced in managing complex midfacial and craniofacial tumours, including malignancies involving the maxilla and facial structures.

One of his major areas of expertise is minimally invasive resection for advanced oral cancers. These techniques aim to remove the tumour effectively while reducing unnecessary damage to surrounding structures whenever clinically possible.

Dr. Yash Mathur places significant importance on functional and aesthetic rehabilitation following head and neck cancer surgery. He performs reconstructive procedures using local and pedicled flaps to restore defects resulting from tumour removal and improve functional and cosmetic outcomes.

His practice also includes robotic head and neck cancer surgery for selected patients. Robotic and minimal-access approaches may provide improved access to difficult-to-reach tumours while helping preserve important functions such as speech and swallowing.

Dr. Mathur is actively involved in clinical research related to oral and head and neck cancers. His academic work includes studies on oral cancer outcomes, lymph node metastasis, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, thyroid cancer and swallowing rehabilitation following advanced oral cancer treatment.

At HCG Cancer Hospital, Dr. Yash Mathur follows a multidisciplinary approach to cancer care, working with medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists, pathologists and rehabilitation specialists to develop personalised treatment plans for each patient.

Head and Neck Cancer Surgery

Dr. Yash Mathur provides surgical treatment for cancers involving different structures of the head and neck. Treatment is planned according to tumour location, stage, lymph node involvement and the patient's overall health.

Oral Cancer Surgery

Oral cancer surgery is used to remove malignant tumours affecting the tongue, cheek, lips, gums, floor of the mouth and other oral structures. Surgery may also include management of lymph nodes in the neck and reconstruction of the resulting defect.

Tongue Cancer Surgery

Dr. Yash Mathur provides surgical management for tongue cancers, including complex and advanced tumours. Treatment focuses on cancer control while preserving speech, swallowing and tongue function whenever possible.

Cheek Cancer Surgery

Surgery for cheek cancer involves removing the malignant tissue with an appropriate margin. Reconstruction may be performed when necessary to restore oral function and facial appearance.

Lip Cancer Surgery

Lip cancer surgery aims to completely remove the tumour while preserving oral function and appearance. Reconstructive techniques may be incorporated into treatment when a larger surgical defect is expected.

Oropharyngeal Cancer Surgery

Oropharyngeal cancer affects areas such as the base of the tongue, tonsils and throat. Dr. Yash Mathur provides surgical treatment for selected oropharyngeal cancers as part of a multidisciplinary treatment plan.

Salivary Gland Cancer Surgery

Dr. Yash Mathur manages malignant tumours involving salivary glands. Surgery is carefully planned because important nerves and other structures can be located close to these tumours.

Craniofacial Tumor Surgery

Craniofacial tumour surgery involves treatment of complex tumours affecting facial bones and nearby head and neck structures. Dr. Mathur has experience managing challenging craniofacial and midfacial malignancies.

Midfacial and Maxillary Tumor Surgery

Dr. Yash Mathur has particular expertise in tumours arising from the maxilla and other midfacial structures. Treatment may require complex tumour removal combined with reconstructive procedures.

Minimal Access Oral Cancer Surgery

Minimal-access techniques may be used for selected advanced oral cancers involving areas such as the tongue, cheek and lips. The approach aims to achieve adequate cancer removal while reducing surgical trauma whenever suitable.

Neck Dissection

Neck dissection is performed to remove lymph nodes when head and neck cancer has spread or is considered at significant risk of spreading to cervical lymph nodes.

Head and Neck Reconstruction

Reconstructive surgery helps restore defects created after removal of head and neck tumours. Dr. Yash Mathur performs rehabilitation-focused reconstruction using techniques such as local and pedicled flaps, with attention to functional and aesthetic outcomes.

Robotic Head and Neck Cancer Surgery

Robotic surgery may be used for selected head and neck cancers where minimally invasive access is appropriate. It can provide enhanced surgical access to difficult areas while supporting function-preserving treatment in suitable patients.
