There are several treatment options. Radiation is most often used for very early stages. Surgery may include removing teeth as well as the tumor. The other option is chemo.

Treatment will vary depending on the size and location of the tumor. The first option is surgery where a doctor would remove the tumor and a small area surrounding it. Radiation is another option and is highly effective for smaller tumors that aren't spreading. Finally chemotherapy is another treatment and is helpful for large tumors that have spread.
