Last month, I had done small excisional biopsy of oral lesion in inner cheek. I had been diagnosed with mild to moderate Dysplasia. Within 20 days I feel a small white lesion has grown by the side of originally biopsied area. I discussed with doctor and he suggested me for wide excisional laser biopsy. What is the chance of cancer in this biopsy? Do I still have chance of re occurance?

Dysplasia indicates abnormal cell changes that could potentially lead to cancer if not treated. A wide excisional laser biopsy is recommended to remove the affected tissue and reduce the chances of cancer or recurrence. Only a pathologist can determine the chance of cancer based on the biopsy results.
