How is stage I oral squamous cell carcinoma treated?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've been experiencing various physical discomforts, and after checking into the hospital, I found out that it's a tumor-related condition. I'm very worried about how long I might live. Could you please tell me how to treat Stage I squamous cell carcinoma of the maxilla in the oral cavity?

Doctor's answer:

This disease involves malignant tumors of the oral cavity. The etiology is very complex. If you are accustomed to eating betel nuts, it may also be related to this cause. In terms of treatment, the current main principle is that if surgery is feasible, surgical treatment should be prioritized. Therefore, it is recommended that you go to a higher-level hospital to make an appointment with the Department of Stomatology for a follow-up visit. You can undergo a comprehensive examination to see if surgical treatment is possible. If the examination results indicate that surgery is feasible, then surgical treatment should be initiated first.
