In Australia, the TNM system is the method most often used for staging head and neck cancers. TNM stands for tumour–nodes–metastasis. In this system, each letter is assigned a number to describe the cancer.
After agreeing to your treatment plan, treatment should start within four weeks if trying to cure the cancer or within two weeks if a cure is unlikely. You can ask your GP for a referral to another specialist for a second opinion.
Thank you for contacting Dr Richard Gallagher. Unfortunately we cannot offer a second opinion if you do not have a current diagnosis.
