I have seen that some people were diagnosed with Low Grade Mucoepidermic Carcinoma and in most cases they only needed one surgery. I have some questions and I wish someone could help me. Sorry if my questions seems stupid but I am afraid to develop something again. My doctor mentioned me that this kind of cancer is very "soft" compared to others but as you can read I am still concerned to develop a new one somewhere else.

1. What is the likelihood for a Low Grade MEC to show again somewhere else? The Low Grade MEC tends to create more aggresive type of cancers like intermediate or High Degree
2. If I had low grade MEC will my body and/or mouth be more suitable to develop cancer again??
3. Do you know if the HPV develop Low Grade MEC ??
4. Do you know about people that survived to low grade MEC and after a long long time they never had anything else.
