title: [Carcinoma of the palate. Clinical cases].
abstract: The paper reports a series of 29 patients treated for advanced neoplasias of the palate at the Oncology Institute in Turin. The study confirms the proportional deterioration of the survival rate in correlation with the advanced stage of the carcinoma. The majority of deaths due to insufficient control occur during the second year following treatment but, after this period, the survival rate tends to stabilise around 40%.
