Hi Minh and thankyou :-)

some of this stuff has been answered in my other thread. Biopsy was right underside of tongue toward the base (the extra bit they are removing is further towards the base). Decisions are being made by a team of specialists in the head and neck clinic of a major teaching hospital. I have a pre- admission meeting tomorrow morning. I've decided to ask for a PET scan before any decision is made re the lymph nodes. Does anyone have references to the accuracy of fine needle asipiration biopsy? Can I trust a negative result from this test or not?? Is PET scan more acurate?

SCC right lateral tongue. Intially thought to be cell dysplasia and dx as SCC after surgical excision.
