Greetings. My father is a healthy 65 year old that just got diagnosed with Squamous cell cancer in right submental and submandibular lymph nodes (done by fine needle aspiration). The primary focus is thought to be right dental region. I am looking for a good center/ team in MD for further management. Any opinions about Dr. Ord (U. of Md), Hopkins or Lombardi? I have lurked on the boards since this AM and thank you for this resource and support. Best.


Only daughter to 65 y.o non smker Dad with 3.2 cm Rt lower alveolar rim SCC with 4 level 1 lymph nodes, T4N2bM0- IVb. Had right mandibulectomy and neck dissection with fibular flap reconstruction 3/2009. Recieving IMRT, planned 34 Tx and Cisplatin 3 cycles since mid May 2009.
