title: [Cancer of maxillary mucosa (symptoms and diagnosis)].
abstract: The experience in diagnosis of maxillary mucosa cancer in 222 patients is reviewed. Male and female mortalities were the same. Mean age of the men was 59.9+/-13.1 years, of the women 69.4+/-15.2 years. 211 patients were admitted to hospital for the first time and 11 with relapses after conducted treatment. The disease history in 121 patients varied from 1 week to 3 months from the disease onset, in 90 (45.6%) patients--from 3 months to 1 year. Patients with stage 3 (n=141) and stage 01 (n=51) made up 90.9% of all the cases. Stage 2 was diagnosed in 16 patients and stage 1--in 3 patients. Diagnostic potential of the conventional X-ray study, computed and magnetic resonance tomography in diagnosis of maxillary cancer is shown.
