ENT specialists can also treat inborn disorders of the ear. They often manage and treat diseases that affect the nose, nasal cavity, and sinuses and ailments and conditions that influence the throat and speech, singing, eating, swallowing, and digesting. ENT doctors are trained to manage tumors, diseases, trauma, and deformities of the head, neck, and face and can perform cosmetic and reconstructive surgery in these areas. They can also manage problems with the nerves in the head and neck that control sight, hearing, smelling, and facial movements.

The diagnostic process for cancer or tumor begins with a visit to an ear-nose-throat (ENT) doctor, which usually involves a head and neck examination, endoscopy, imaging tests, and biopsy to confirm and determine the spread of cancer.

Do ENT doctors perform surgery?  

Unlike doctors who can only medically treat conditions involving ear, nose, and throat, ENT specialists can treat and also perform surgery on the structures involved, if they deem it necessary. The types of surgery they perform are:

  • Sinus surgery
