My husband who is 70 years old otherwise quite healthy and active, but ex smoker, had tongue surgery for a white patch which was a tumor, the report was hyperkeratosis with moderate epitelial dysplasia, and then he spread and had a second surgery, the report is Well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma within the muscular wall, focally extending to deep inked resection, lesion is 3.5 mm in size with mild squamous hyperplasia and parakeratosis overlying mucosa. Now he has to go for a 3rd surgery. No other treatment is given. Could you please tell me how we should proceed or which country & hospitals have success rate for this kind of cancer. In this country everything gets delayed for months. Thank you. Nora
Hello, Thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. As you are mentioning that your husband went for surgery for white patch the report showed that it was well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. In this case you should go for chemotherapy and radiotherapy both with surgery, as only surgery will not solve the problem. So better you should visit a good cancer institute for treatment. Hope it will help you.
