In my suggestions about places for treatment, I just realized that I assumed your mother is in Philadelphia as well. If she isn't, start with the link to cancer centers found in the "New here?" posting that Anne-Marie mentioned.

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.
