“Minimally” describes the access, not the cancer operation. The tumour still comes out in one piece with a clear margin, and the neck is still assessed properly. Only the route changes — a small tongue or cheek cancer is reached through the open mouth instead of by splitting the lip and jaw. Minimally invasive cancer surgery is not one fixed procedure but a family of techniques — transoral resection, endoscopic surgery, laser-assisted excision, microscope-assisted work. Choosing correctly is the whole skill. See the full pathway on our diagnosis and treatment of oral and neck cancers page.
