Hi Bellarte,

Sorry to hear about your dad's diagnosis. As a number of people on this board point out, it is important to have him treated at a comprehensive cancer center that is familiar with and experienced in treating oral cancer.

The National Cancer Institute has good information on how to find a doctor and treatment facility at
http://cis.nci.nih.gov/fact/7_47.htm

It also has a list of cancer centers by state at
http://www3.cancer.gov/cancercenters/centerslist.html

Best wishes and good luck in finding an appropriate treatment center. - Sheldon
