Squamous cell carcinoma  base of tounge

2017-11-20 06:36:27
Dear sir, My father was diagnosed with scc base of tounge six months back and subsequently treated with radio and chemotherapy. He is now in follow up period but father's last pet scan done 4 days before shows recurrence of disease so what will be the better treatment for him from now on and what will be the outcomes? Thanks.

Recurrent oral cancer has bad prognosis if it has spread to other organs.chemotherapy with monoclonal antibody is better option for prolonged control.
