[Results in the treatment of tongue cancer].
Hundred and four patients with a carcinoma of the tongue were seen at the ENT-clinic of Tübingen between 1969 and 1979. Most of them had advanced tumors, which were treated by a combined surgical and radiological therapy or by surgery or radiotherapy alone. There were a clearcut relationship between the prognosis and the histology, the stade and the localization of the tumor. Best therapeutic results were seen after the combined surgical and radiological therapy, especially in the treatment of neck metastases. Recurrencies of neck metastases were effectively treated by surgery; the fate of the patients depended on the primary tumor and on the occurrence of distant metastases.
