RT /ct, without surgery, is pretty standard for base of tongue cancers according to the NCCN Oncology Practice Guidelines. See Orph-4 http://www.nccn.org/professionals/physician_gls/PDF/head-and-neck.pdf

Also, University of Wisconsin is a Comprehensive Cancer Center. They see over 500 H&N patients a year. See: http://www.uwhealth.org/servlet/Satellite?cid=1103038108482&pagename=A_UWH_HOME%2FAArticles%2FuwhDiseaseDetail&c=AArticles

In my opinion, for what it's worth, it serves the patients better if we do our homework on whether they are already at a CCC rather than scaring them into thinking that they might be getting bad medicine. There is a list of CCC's and CC's on the home page. http://www.oralcancerfoundation.org/resources/index.htm#centers
