What Is The Best Method Of Removing A Malignant Parotid Gland Tumor?
What is the best method of removing a malignant parotid gland tumor ? We live in Naples Fl and found a Dr in LA that performs minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery for the procedure and I m wondering if it is the best choice to travel to CA. Is there a dr in SW Fl that can help us?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Treatment of choice for malignant parotid gland tumour is surgery. You need to remove whole parotid gland. Wide excision is the treatment of choice. Radiotherapy or chemotherapy is also needed according to type of tumour. Consult your oncosurgeon and plan accordingly.
