The success of this case highlights the advancements AOI is making in the field of cancer care, particularly with its innovative and personalized chemotherapy protocols.
Case Overview: Inoperable Tongue Cancer
Patient Background
The patient, a 46-year-old male from West Bengal, had a long history of chronic tobacco chewing, which led to the development of squamous cell carcinoma on the right side of his tongue. His condition was characterized by a painful, lobulated mass that caused severe symptoms, including difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) and speaking (dysarthria).
Failed Previous Treatments
The patient had been dealing with recurrent, poorly healing ulcers for the past eight months. Despite undergoing various treatments, his condition continued to worsen. After a thorough clinical examination and biopsy, which confirmed the diagnosis of inoperable tongue cancer, the patient was referred to AOI Gurugram for a specialized approach.
