[|Human|] hi,my father has got carcinoma tongue and his biopsy has been done but his reports of biopsy will come after 15 days so is there any chances of spreading in these 15 days if yes then suggest sumthin and what is the preffered treatment for the same radiotherapy or surgery
[|AI|]  I have gone through your query. You did not mention if the biopsy is excisional biopsy or an incisional biopsy. Rate of spread of tongue carcinoma can be assessed based on many factors like type of carcinoma, age of the patient and nutritional status etc. Your physician will do a complete head and neck scan, laryngoscopy, laryngoscopy, PET, CT,MRI and lymph node assessment for staging and grading the cancer. Surgery or radiotherapy can be determined depending on the type of cancer and lymph node involvement. Patient should quit any tobacco habits, alcoholism and follow a healthy lifestyle. Hope this helps.
