My wife has low-grade mucoepidermoid base of tongue tumor w/ lymph node met, which she treated in 2009 w/ RT and cisplatin, having decided then not to do a tongue resection, etc. (after getting second opinion at MD Anderson). She has a recurrence now, still BOT w/ lymph node met, and is ready to do the partial tongue resection and bilateral neck dissection. We are getting second opinions in NYC this week. Beth Israel (Dr. Harrison) is recommending IORT and a second course of RT after doing "fresh" skin grafts on her neck. Does anyone have experience w/ a second course of RT?
thanks much.
