58 y male cheek biopsy showing moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. Now we have to do staging workup to decide the treatment. If it's in early stage surgery is the preferred choice. If locally advanced chemo with radiotherapy is the choice. If advanced or metastatic then ohemo with or without immunotherapy is the choice. First you please get a ct scan neck and chest or pet ct
Next Steps
meet surgical or radiation oncologist
