You have posted this under the recurrance tab. Has your relative had this more than once? Is this person in India currently?

The info you are seeking isnt anything we could help you with. The known cures for oral cancer are surgery and radiation with ot without chemo. Unfortunately, if a person has had cancer then its always a possibility of it coming back again. Thats how it was explained to me by my radiation oncologist. They also said that sooner or later we all end up with cancer if we would live long enough. Im sure there are many more technical members who could give more info.

As far as referrals, we have members all over the world. Hopefully someone will be able to name some treatment places in India.

Im sorry I was not able to help you more. Oral cancer is an awful disease! Wishing your relative good health.
