The paper examines the treatment of advanced carcinoma of the oral cavity in relation to results obtained using a tri-modal treatment protocol with 12-month follow-up. Following a complete radiographic examination, patients in this study underwent three cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with clinical and radiographical reassessment at the end of each cycle. Surgical treatment to remove the tumour and possible radiotherapy completed the treatment protocol. From January 1989 to January 1990, 14 patients underwent this treatment. Following the analysis of follow-up data, it was noted that the percentage of recidivation was considerably lower than that in patients not treated using this protocol. These results are comparable to those reported in the literature and underline the importance of trimodal treatment of patients with cancer of the oral cavity in the III and IV stages.

Abstract

The paper examines the treatment of advanced carcinoma of the oral cavity in relation to results obtained using a tri-modal treatment protocol with 12-month follow-up. Following a complete radiographic examination, patients in this study underwent three cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with clinical and radiographical reassessment at the end of each cycle. Surgical treatment to remove the tumour and possible radiotherapy completed the treatment protocol. From January 1989 to January 1990, 14 patients underwent this treatment. Following the analysis of follow-up data, it was noted that the percentage of recidivation was considerably lower than that in patients not treated using this protocol. These results are comparable to those reported in the literature and underline the importance of trimodal treatment of patients with cancer of the oral cavity in the III and IV stages.
