Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Stage 2 vocal cord cancer is indication for surgery.
So he should definitely undergo surgical removal of tumour.
Stage 2 malignancy means tumour is localised and not metastatic.
And hence all efforts to remove the tumour should be done. This helps in prevention of future metastasis and improve life expectancy, five year survival rate etc.
So surgery is definitely indicated in his case.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wishing good health to your father.
Thanks.
