Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 10,507 Likes: 7 | Im sorry but Im not familiar with PDT. I have had oral cancer 3 times in 3 years. I see your signature shows several recurrances. Are you being treated at a cancer center? Recently I have seen a few patients get radiation again. For my recurrances, I have had surgery. As far as I am aware, that is all that can be done. Oral cancer doesnt respond to chemo by itself.
Best of luck with your latest round of oral cancer.
