I operated my tongue cancer in Dec 2012 in between two months again reflected in nods on right side neck. Operated in Feb 2013. Than doctor decided for chemo and radiation. Due to radiation therapy there is growth oral sub mucous fibrosis with pericronities. Now again there is seen squamous cell of carcinoma . Dentist told me this is second new primary cancer not related with past cancer so it is not secondary cancer . This is happened due to fibrosis . In CT scan there is not showing any ulceration. Doctor told me its very early stage so not showing in CT. Please suggest is it curable and what is second new primary cancer.

It's a second primary,  you have not mentioned the sub site. Get it surgically excised with good margins.

Second primaries happen often. The reason is a phenomenon called field cancerization.
