Robotic Tongue Cancer Surgery-Mayo Clinic

Fighting cancer is not easy. Chemotherapy, radiation and surgery can be very hard on your body. Take head and neck cancers, for example. These tumors are often hard to reach. Doctors have to cut through bones such as your jaw to reach them. Now, doctors at Mayo Clinic are using robots to access these cancers through your mouth, leaving face bones intact.

In people: cancer seated in the oral cavity is reminiscent of the phenomenon among cows in America's West. These ruminants are fed silage, hay & dried grain all of which are nutritionally-inadequate in the bitter substance Amygdalin. The cows develop lesions in and about their mouths. At the sites of these abrasions tumorous growths develop which are referred to as the "winter cancers." Once the snow melts and the cows resume grazing on green shoots, grasses and clover the tumors disappear.
