Im hoping you will not need our services by having a noncancerous diagnosis. If you would need us, we are here to help. Since you mentioned a watch and wait advice Im wondering what you have. Have you obtained the biopsy results yet or are you still waiting for them? If you have gotten them what is your exact diagnosis? Many pre-cancers like leukoplakia and dysplasia may or may not eventually turn into oral cancer. From what I understand the odds are very low of these problems ever becoming cancerous. Maybe the following info will help you learn about these conditions.... Leukoplakia and other premalignant lesions More info Here is a list of Clinical Trials. Clinical Trials The links were found with a quick internet search. I hope they will be helpful to you. Best wishes with everything!
