title: Experience with radical surgical treatment of maxillofacial tumours invading the base of the skull. Long term results.
abstract: A review of patient data of maxillofacial tumours invading the base of the skull shows a relatively high fatality rate as a result of surgical intervention but also an unexpectedly high life expectancy. Surgical intervention seems to be the right choice whenever clinical examination suggest tumour removal is possible even if a tumour cannot be extirpated in one operation and a further operation from a second access is needed.
