Hi, has anyone heard of this procedure. They insert a probe into the tumor and freeze it to death. I am not sure if they can do this on the tongue. I can't seem to find any info on the web?

Eli, a search through Google.com brought up many links. It seems to be used in a trial for OBGYN problems. I didn't read all the links, and you might find something further if you look.

Eli, check this out!

First go here: http://www.oralcancerfoundation.org/news1.htm and scroll down to the article on Photodynamic Therapy.

Then search the Internet for information about Foscan. I did this some while back, thinking it will be a good thing to know if I have a reoccurrence. Maybe this could be the answer for your sister.

I have my fingers crossed.

Joanna
