Chemotherapy is useful in oral cancers when used in combination with other treatment modalities such as radiation therapy. When cure is unlikely it can also be used to extend life and can be considered palliative but not curative care. Ask the doctor to help you decide on weighing the pros and cons of having chemotherapy at such an age.
