Hello,
From the details produed reg.biopsy report,the diagnosis of the lesion is squamous cell carcinoma.
I would advice your father to discontinue the habit of smoking if you practice any.
Surgical excision and radiotherapy has to be done depending on severity of lesion.
Meanwhile,maintain oral hygiene well.
Vitamin becosules and folic acid supplements has to be administered.
Take care.
