Management of base of tongue squamous cell carcinoma: Experience with 85 patients in Taipei Veterans General Hospital

“…2,3 In BOTSCC, reports indicate that the treatment response is significantly worse than that for other oropharyngeal subsites. 2 Furthermore, evidence from a population-based study of the United States National Cancer Data Base, which included 16,188 cases of BOTSCC, did not support the superiority of nonsurgical treatment because it failed to provide favorable survival outcome.…”

“…2 Furthermore, evidence from a population-based study of the United States National Cancer Data Base, which included 16,188 cases of BOTSCC, did not support the superiority of nonsurgical treatment because it failed to provide favorable survival outcome. 3 Patients with favorable T1 and T2 lesions can be treated with surgery or radiotherapy (RT) alone. Radical tumor resection followed by RT has been the standard therapy in patients with advanced BOTSCC because of higher rates of locoregional control, but this often results in dysfunction of swallowing and speech.…”
