Michelle --

Information about staging is available here -- http://www.oralcancerfoundation.org/facts/stages_cancer.htm -- and the main OCF site has a lot of information that should be helpful to both you and your brother as he prepares for treatment.

All the best to you both,
Leslie

April 2006: Husband dx by dentist with leukoplakia on tongue. Oral surgeon's biopsy 4/28/06: Moderate dysplasia; pathology report warned of possible "skip effect." ENT's excisional biopsy (got it all) 5/31/06: SCC in situ/small bit superficially invasive. Early detection saves lives.
