My husband was diagnosed with SCC after having two lymph nodes removed from his neck. He's had a full-body PET scan, lung CT scan and several CT scans of neck. All scans came back clear.
Also, he's had his tonsils removed and several basal tongue, pharynx and throat biopsies which all came back negative.
He's about midway through his chemo (6 treatments total) and radiation (35 treatments total).
My question is this: How common is it for a person with SCC in the lymph nodes to have an undetectable primary?
Thanks for responding.
