Hi everyone,

I just received my result for my biopsy and MRI scan. Though my biopsy shows that my ulcer is non cancerous (2 biopsy report: 1 shows severe dysplasia and another inflammation) but my MRI scan reveal that there is something penetrating my tongue. The doctor advise me to go for surgery to remove the ulcer and will further examine it for cancer. I am wondering normally for this kind of surgery, what is the success rate? and is it a complicated surgery? What other options are there besides surgery?

Thnks.
