Oral Cancer Screening, Biopsy & Oral Pathology
Any ulcer, patch or swelling in the mouth that doesn't heal within two weeks deserves a specialist opinion. Early diagnosis dramatically improves outcomes for oral cancer, and most lesions turn out to be benign — but the only way to know is proper evaluation.
Dr. Pathak evaluates and manages white and red patches (leukoplakia, erythroplakia), persistent ulcers, lumps and swellings, and submucous fibrosis related to areca nut, gutka and tobacco use — a major concern in our region.
Most biopsies are quick procedures under local anaesthesia, with reports in a few days, explained to you in plain language.

Frequently asked questions
I have a mouth ulcer that won't heal. Should I worry?
Any ulcer persisting beyond two weeks should be examined by a specialist. Most are benign, but a non-healing ulcer is also the most common early sign of oral cancer — early assessment is always worth it.
Is a biopsy painful?
No — it's done under local anaesthesia and usually takes 10–15 minutes. The report typically arrives in 3–5 working days.
I chew tobacco/gutka and my mouth opening has reduced. Can you help?
Reduced mouth opening with burning sensation suggests oral submucous fibrosis, which needs evaluation and staged management. Stopping the habit is the single most important step — and treatment options exist at every stage.
