My 59yr dad diagnosis w ventral tongue squamous cell carcinoma. e.n.t dr to schedule symptoms for next week is it a good plan to have an oncologist assist with sx?

ENT surgeons and onc: An ENT doctor can do the surgery for cancer of the tongue. But you need to engage a medical oncologist prior to surgery and seek his/her input about the need for chemotherapy prior to surgery. The best plans for cancer treatment require a team of surgeon, medical oncologist and radiation oncologist, all working together and plan treatment together and not one at a time.
