hello sir. i wanted to know that my dad has been daignosed with throat cancer, at a second stage.its in the voice box. dr has adviced us to operate it? he will be fine after the surgery. do u think it is advisable to get operated at the second stage? pls  help us.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Stage 2 vocal cord cancer is indication for surgery. So he should definitely undergo surgical removal of tumor. Stage 2 malignancy means tumor is localized and not metastatic. And hence all efforts to remove the tumor should be done. This helps in prevention of future metastasis and improve life expectancy, five year survival rate etc. So surgery is definitely indicated in his case. Hope I have solved your query. Wishing good health to your father. Thanks.
