How does gestational period gum tumour do?

1. Gingival cancer is one of the most common oral cancer in clinic. Early gingival cancer in clinical practice is the first method of surgical resection for treatment, but some patients in the early time did not see a doctor in time. I missed the best time for surgery.

2. Therefore, the advanced gingival cancer will generally be treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. In fact, gingival cancer is more sensitive to radiotherapy, but in the advanced stage, because the cancer cells may have distant metastasis, it needs to cooperate with chemotherapy for further treatment.

3. Therefore, patients with advanced cancer are often treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, but radiotherapy and chemotherapy will bring great side effects to the patient's body. Because chemotherapy drugs kill cancer cells, but also kill the body's normal immune cells. So it's a double-edged sword.
