- Positron emission tomography (PET) for an accurate diagnosis and effective monitoring of a patient’s progress after treatment
- Cytoprotective agents, which prevent some of the effects of radiotherapy or combined chemo-radiotherapy
- Endoscopic surgery, which enables surgeons to operate on throat cancers without need for an incision
- Image-guided surgery for skull base cancer
- Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for treatment of certain cancers in the throat. The robot improves both access and visualization of tumors in hard-to-reach areas
- Laser technology, to treat an early-stage tumor, especially if it is found in the larynx
- Nerve integrity monitoring (NIM) for thyroid surgeries – The thyroid gland lies close to the vocal cords and also the nerves that control movement of the vocal cords (recurrent laryngeal nerves). So, when surgery is performed on the thyroid gland, a nerve monitor is sometimes used during the operation with the aim of helping to prevent potential damage to the nerves.
