Is Radiation Chemotherapy Advisable For Squamous Cell Cancer Stage 4?
My husband was diagnosed with Squamous Cell Cancerous Tumor in his left sinus cavity. Stage 4 we are scheduled for surgery Wednesday. It has all happened very fast. His PET scan came back clean. What do you recommend for him. We know that they want him to do radiation and chemo after the surgery.
Thanks for your question on HCM. In my opinion if PET SCAN is normal for distal metastases than you should get done enblock resection of sinus cancer. And post operative chemotherapy and radiotherapy are given to decrease the chances of local site recurrence . Chemotherapy will also useful in prevention of distal metastases. So better to take post operative chemotherapy and radiotherapy for better prognosis and life expectancy.
