Suggest Treatment For Oral Cancer
Question: My father has been diagnosed with oral cancer and was recommended surgery. Since he underwent a bye-pass operation 12 years ago, doctors asked for a cardiac opinion. While testing, his TMT was positive-he could complete only 3.5 minutes, his ECG showed poor electric generation and ejection fraction was 45%. How risky would be the procedure?
Brief Answer:
Its very risky as patient is immunocompromised
Detailed Answer:
Hi
