โฆ Synopsis
This is an analysis of 16 patients with excisionally biopsied (TXNO) squamous cell carcinoma of the oral tongue (nine patients) and floor of mouth (seven patients) treated with radiotherapy. All patients had a minimum 2-year follow-up and 81% had at least 5 years of follow-up. One patient died of intercurrent disease 16 months after treatment and was excluded from analysis of local control. All patients were evaluable for analysis of survival and complications. Local control was achieved in 14 of 15 patients; one patient with local recurrence underwent a surgical salvage procedure, which was unsuccessful. No patients developed recurrent disease in the neck or in distant sites. Five-year absolute and cause-specific survival rates were 10 of 13 and 10 of 11. respectively. HEAD & NECK 11:129-131, 1989
