Hello,
After browsing and reading many of the posts in this section, I was struck by the fact that there seems to be no basic medical "Protocols of Treatment" for various stages of SCC. Obviosly, the treatment of a T1 would certainly differ from that of a T4, but is there a set of standards or guidelines that outline or suggest the most common methods of treatment for each staging classification.
All the best-Hal

There are physician guidelines put together by NCCN. You can find the guidelines for all head and neck cancers from this page:
