Hello doctor,
My mother was diagnosed with tongue cancer and the doctor suggested to operate. So, we operated at a cancer hospital and we received a final biopsy report.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have gone through your report (attachment removed to protect patient identity). As per it, looks like she had stage-I disease. No lymph node involvement. No other adverse factors.
I do not think there is any further need for radiation or chemotherapy. Initial three-monthly follow up for recurrence for two years then six-monthly is enough.
Did she use to smoke or take alcohol? As these may increase the risk of second malignancy.
