Stage 4 oral cancer survivor grateful after successful treatment
Dr. Vicente Valero, a breast medical oncologist at UT MD Anderson, kept my late mother alive for 25 years — even after a stage 4 metastatic breast cancer diagnosis. Urologists there also treated my late father successfully for prostate cancer.
So, when a biopsy revealed the source of an ongoing issue in my mouth might be squamous cell carcinoma — a type of oral cancer — I didn’t hesitate: I called UT MD Anderson right away.
