[Multidisciplinary treatment in advanced stages of spinocellular carcinoma of the oral cavity. Initial results].
As in almost all forms of tumour, the best therapeutic results for those of the oral cavity is obtained following the first treatment which must be incisive and appropriate because it often represents the sole decisive possibility of recovery. In advanced forms (stages III and IV) it is best to establish a close collaboration between surgeon, cancer specialist and radiotherapist: this paper reports the authors' experience over the past 5 years with regard to advanced stages of spinocellular carcinoma of the oral cavity treated according to a chemoradiosurgical therapeutic protocol. Of the 134 cases treated by our unit, 77 were included in the protocol showing a 78% actuarial survival rate over 40 months.
