The treatment of mouth cancer depends on the site and Stage of the cancer. I usually ask for an imaging CT scan or MRI, sometimes only ultrasound) to know the extent of the disease and nodal spread. If advanced stage, then I also ask for a PET CT scan. If early stage, then surgery. If advanced, may need surgery followed by chemoradiation or chemotherapy followed by surgery and Chemoradiation. If very advanced stage, then only CTRT or palliative. If you want to further discuss the treatment, feel free to contact me directly.
