Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

It is really unfortunate to know that your friend's son is diagnosed with Oral Cancer but I would still suggest that she should take him to an Oral Surgeon or Oncologist and get a biopsy done again..

If it is reconfirmed then treatment will depend on stage of the cancer...

Small lesions that has not involver lymph nodes can be very well treated with surgical removal of the cancerous lesion..
It can be followed by Radiotherapy and chemotherapy to kill any remaining cancer cells..

As Oral cancerous lesions are quickly progressive therefore immediately initiation of treatment is required..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
