title: [Balancing therapeutic idea in the treatment plan of oral maxillofacial neoplasm].
abstract: According to the reviews of some critical factors, such as incidence rate of oral maxillofacial neoplasm, influence factors of molecular-biology and pathology, and advancement of comprehensive treatments, a new treatment idea-balancing therapeutic idea (BTI) has been put forward to improve the patients' life quality, prolong their survival, and decrease their psychological and physiological pains. The key point of the BTJ is that the doctors should pay much attention to the patients' overall benefit and keep away from the risk of over-treatment based on the fact that it is impossible that cancer cells are killed out at the hiological level. It is important for doctors to let the residual tumor cells be monitored and restricted with body's immune defense system under the condition of normal physiological function and not being destroyed by improper treatment. This is the most important purpose of BTI that let oral cancer become chronic disease authentically and improve the therapeutic safety and efficiency.
