Recurring Oral Cancer With Repeated Bouts Of Epitheliel Dysplasia Which Was Removed By Surgeries. History Of Liver Transplant. Help To Stop Recurrence
I am a pos-liver transplant recipient (transplanated in 2001 at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, FL) with recurring oral cancer and would like to know how to stop this from reurring. The cancer ollowed repeated bouts of epitheliel dysplasia which were removed by laser-ablation surgeries (3 times). Since then, I have had three surgeries for very small oral cancer in the lower left floor of my mouth. Is there any way I can prevent this from recurring? What about Prug X enhancer, BLA and BLA enhancer or Ultra Immune 9? I read about this on the internet. Please help me. I'm at my wits' end. Christine Harmon.

Hi and thanks for the query,
Surgery is not the only option to be considered when faced with cancer like that of the oral cavity. It might be necessary to exploit other options like chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Using thee drugs and radiation could be useful in the curbing process of abnormal and excessive cell growth, and also reduces he risk of spread of this cancer to other areas of the body. Immune suppressing agents are effective with other cancers, but I am afraid have not been proving effective in oral cancer.
I suggest you discuss the options of radiotherapy and chemotherapy with your treating physician. Thanks and kind regards.
