[Verrucous carcinoma of the oral cavity. Personal experience with combined chemo-surgical treatment].
Following an introduction regarding the anatomo-pathological and clinical aspects of verrucous carcinoma of the oral cavity, the authors review several recent reports concerning the prognosis and treatment of this tumour and its possible evolution. This is followed by a wide-ranging discussion of the differing opinions put forward by various researchers regarding the possible role of radiotherapy and in particular the high risk of triggering off latent forms and provoking the differentiated and more aggressive forms of carcinoma. The authors then illustrate their experience of integrated chemo-surgical treatment, excluding radiotherapy, administered over the past six years to patients who were brought to their attention suffering from this form of carcinoma.
