SInce this site is all about oral cancer, its very possible you run into members who have had their dysplasia turn into cancer. Im sorry but that cant be avoided when posting on a forum dedicated to oral cancer.
Best wishes to your brother. Im hoping he never has to deal with his dysplasia turning cancerous.
