PY - 2011 T2 - Care at the Close of Life: Evidence and Experience AB - Mr K is a 57-year-old financial analyst with a long history of precancerous and cancerous oral lesions. Although his medical history includes hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and human immunodeficiency virus infection (well controlled with antiretroviral treatments), he has no risk factors for oral cancer, specifically no tobacco use, or significant alcohol intake. Twelve years ago, he developed a tongue lesion that demonstrated dysplasia. It was treated with topical steroids and then both laser and surgical excision. The lesion recurred 2 years later, and a biopsy specimen revealed superficially invasive well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. He underwent wide resection with all margins clear of carcinoma but with residual dysplasia at the edges.
