The difference is a cancer center will have a team of doctors to discuss your case in a meeting. They will form a plan to best treat you. You want to be treated at a cancer center where they are familiar with oral cancer. You do not want a doctor who sees a handful of oral cancer patients per year. You want someone who sees many cancer patients weekly. Here is a list of the best cancer centers. http://oralcancerfoundation.org/resources/cancer_centers.htm
