title: Management of advanced and recurrent facial carcinoma.
abstract: I report five cases of advanced and recurrent facial carcinoma to illustrate the extent to which such disease can develop and yet be compatible with life. Radical treatment approaches are used so as to maximize the chances for tumor ablation and survival as well as for restoration of function and cosmetics.
