Treatment policy for localized oral cancer

Abstract

This paper analyzes the results of treatment for disseminated oral cancer (T1N0M0). The combined (surgery and radiotherapy) treatment group demonstrated the best 5-year overall and relapse-free survival rates (96.6 and 92.3 %, respectively). In the surgery group only, these rates were lower, amounting to 79.2 and 68.7 %, respectively. The medical therapy group was noted to have the lowest 5-year overall and relapse-free survival rates (81.8 and 45.5 %, respectively).

Possibilities of Laser Spectroscopy Methods for Prediction of the Radiotherapy Results

“…Statistical analysis of malignant neoplasms in Russia has shown that more than 11,000 people per year fall ill with squamous cell carcinoma of the oral mucosa, and the mortality rate due to this pathology in the first year from the moment of diagnosis is about 45% [1]. In the world practice, various methods of radiotherapy, surgical and combined treatments are proposed and used to cure patients suffering from locally advanced forms of oral cavity cancer.…”
