Please get a second opinion. I had cancer SCC of maxillary sinus. Surgery was the only option. ( maxillectomy) ) Followed then by radiation. No chemo. Tumor size 2 with no metastasize ( initially) This was almost 4 years ago. Radiation was a fail because the cancer recurred in a couple of lymph nodes in the neck. Long term side effects from radiation continue to be challenging.

Thank you are you doing chemo now

Hi everyone,
I just finished all my imaging ie pet/ct/mri. I need to get flap surgery for maxillary sinus/cheek tissues/ upper hard palate. Msk is recommending chemo and immunotherapy trial first then surgery. Has anyone done induction chemo first. Did it help? Thanks I am trying to make decision so greatly appreciated.
