General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

That depends on which type of cancer you have, and in most cases, surgical removal with chemotherapy and radiotherapy are sufficient, if the cancer is completely resected with nodes.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhadresh Lakhani
