[5- and 10-year survival in carcinomas of the oral cavity (T1-2/N0-1) treated with external radiotherapy alone or associated with surgery and/or chemotherapy]

Abstract

The authors report their results on the treatment of 211 T1-2/N0-1 carcinoma of the oral cavity treated with radiotherapy alone or associated with surgery and/or chemotherapy. Five- and ten-year survival rates are respectively 48 and 37%. Two groups were recognized: one with a better prognosis (T1 gum and cheek) and another with a poor prognosis (T2-N1 mobile tongue and floor of the mouth).
