title: [Treatment of epidermoid carcinoma of the oral cavity and oropharynx: our result (1991-1995)].
abstract: In a study of 79 patients diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx and oral cavity, we compared the results obtained with two different types of initial treatment (surgery versus irradiation). Patients were grouped by tumor size: small tumors (T1 and T2) and bigger tumors (T3 and T4). Thirty-one patients had T1-T2 tumors:17 treated surgically with an 83% cure rate, 14 treated by irradiation with a 71% cure rate. Forty-three patients had T3-T4 tumors: 38 treated by irradiation with an 32.5% cure rate and 5 treated by surgery, with a 25% cure rate.
