Hi,
Mu tongue have ulser in inner part, My doctor want to surgery to remove that part. But biopsy not yet done, because doctor told if this is cancer , in this stage biopsy may not give correct result.
I am warried much about, if i do surgery, if it is cancer ,it may spread !
Is it true, biopsy would not tell on early stage ?
what stage biospy will find cancer ?
This cancer will spread if surgery not done properly ?
oral cancer can be cured ?

Hi Mohan,
The difficulty in replying to your question is due to the fact that none of us have seen what you doctor is seeing.
Basically what it sounds like they are planning to do is to remove the ulcer and then examine it. In effect, the removed ulcer is the biopsy/surgery combined. If it's small, this isn't out of the ordinary.
Surgery or not, yes, it may spread. Early treatment is best as it provides the most options and improved success.
A biopsy is good but only if enough of the suspicious tissues/cells are removed to be evaluated.
You can always get a second opinion if you choose.
Good luck.
