I tried to post some questions previously and based on other member's suggestion, I decided to first introduce.
My Dad , who is 68 years old was detected with Oral cancel. After all tests it was confirmed to be in T2N1M0 Stage. The surgery was done on 21st April and they had removed 16 nodes from the left side. 15 nodes were negative and 1 node is found to have extensive spread and also while surgery they found that the spread is out of the node to sorrounding tissues.
Now , the doctor has recommended a Radiation + Chemo therapy for 6 weeks. Which is planned to start from 21st May. The Radiation is going to be IMRT for 6 weeks ( 5 days per week). But one of the doctors is suggesting that dont spare the Perotic gland. Is this right approach or sparing periotic gland is fine. One Doctor is syaing that sparing periotic gland can cause under-radation.So, advice on this really helpful.
