title: [Combined polychemotherapy and radiotherapy in the treatment of carcinoma of the oral cavity].
abstract: A brief survey of the relevant literature is followed by an account of the method and techniques employed in combined radiotherapy and polychemotherapy of 32 cases of cancer of the mouth. The results are described, together with the indications and limitations associated with the method. It is suggested that this form of treatment is sound, though it is pointed out that follow-up of the series has not been long.
