Hi,
In all advanced cases of carcinoma we have to count rate of survival,destination is fixed.
We have to count month or years of survival.
Any surgery is palliative and useful for some time to decease suffering of the patient.
ok and bye.

Dear x,
to get a complete details of survival after treatment , it is necessary to furnish the complete stage in form of TNM. in this case buccal mucosa lesions if it is operable , should be operated followed by radiation +/- chemotherapy. you can consult the joint head and neck ca. clinic at AIIMS, IRCH.
