[Comparative assessment of 5-year survival with cancer of the buccal mucosa treated by different methods].
We analyzed case histories of 495 patients with oral cancer treated in the Head and Neck Tumor Clinic of the Russian Cancer Research Center RAMS from 1985 to 1998. 88 patients were included in the study out of which 50 reserved combined (radiotherapy + surgery) and 38--complex (chemotherapy + radiotherapy + surgery) treatment. On assessing the clinical results we got the following results: after combined treatment 5-year survival was 45.9 +/- 7.0%, while after the complex method--37.2 +/- 7.8%. The inclusion of chemotherapy to the treatment does not significantly influence long-term results.
