Is the radiologist who is writing you also from Ohio State, or is he affiliated with the hospital where you were considering having your surgery initially?

I'd think a place like the James Cancer Center would have discussed your case at a tumor board, with many specialities represented (surgeon, radiologist, medical oncologist, etc.) and with the treatment plan you were offered being the consensus of their opinions.

April 2006: Husband dx by dentist with leukoplakia on tongue. Oral surgeon's biopsy 4/28/06: Moderate dysplasia; pathology report warned of possible "skip effect." ENT's excisional biopsy (got it all) 5/31/06: SCC in situ/small bit superficially invasive. Early detection saves lives.
