Don’t ignore the signs in your mouth. With AK Diagnostics, early detection of mouth cancer can make all the difference. Overview Mouth cancer, also known as  oral cancer , is a type of cancer that develops in the tissues of the mouth or throat. It can occur on the lips, tongue, gums, inner lining of the cheeks, roof of the mouth, or floor of the mouth. Early detection and treatment are essential for a better chance of recovery. At AK Diagnostics, we are committed to providing accurate and timely diagnostic services to help identify mouth cancer at the earliest possible stage.

Mouth cancer, also called  oral cancer , is a type of  head and neck cancer  that develops when cells in the mouth begin to grow and multiply in an abnormal, uncontrolled way. Normally, our body’s cells grow, divide, and die in an orderly process. But in cancer, this natural cycle is disrupted — cells produce when they shouldn...

  Overview When it comes to early and accurate diagnosis,  AK Diagnostics  ensures you receive the best medical testing services. One such advanced test we offer is the  FNAC Test (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology)  — a quick, safe, and highly effective method for diagnosing various lumps or swellings in the body. What is an FNAC Test? FNAC stands for  Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology . It is a minimally invasive diagnostic procedure where a thin, fine needle is used to collect cells from a swelling or lump. The collected sample is then examined under a microscope by an expert pathologist to identify the cause of the swelling — whether it’s an infection, inflammation, benign growth, or cancer.

  Overview When it comes to diagnosing cancer accurately, early and precise identification is crucial. Among the many advanced diagnostic tools available today,  Immuno-Histochemistry (IHC)  stands out as a powerful and essential technique, especially in cancer diagnosis. At  AK Diagnostics , we use IHC to help oncologists and pathologists understand the type, origin, and behaviour of a tumour at the molecular level. What is Immuno-Histochemistry (IHC)? Immuno-Histochemistry is a laboratory method that uses antibodies to detect specific proteins (antigens) in tissue samples. These antibodies are tagged with special stains, allowing the target cells to be seen under a microscope. Think of IHC as a “molecular fingerprinting” test — it identifies cancer cells by detecting specific markers unique to each type of cancer. Why is IHC Important in Cancer Diagnosis? Cancer is not a single disease. Tumours differ in cell types, aggressiveness, and treatment response. IHC helps...
