Abstract

If the tumor is diagnosed and treated in early stage, squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck are potentially curable maligant tumor by surgery or radiation therapy.
In general, for early T.1 lesions of oral tongue and floor of the mouth, surgery is preferred. If surgical resection involved severe deformity that alters cosmesis or the functional disturbance, radiation therapy is the treatment of choice. For medium-sized tumors of the oral tongue, floor of the mouth, and oropharynx, radiation therapy is the treatment of choice. Surgery is reserved for radiation failures. In the management of patients with advanced tumors of the head and neck, surgery and/or radiotherapy followed comprehensive management of nodes such as elective neck irradiation and/or neck dissection.
When a patient is scheduled to begin head and neck radiotherapy, the dentist should be examine the patient and recommended proper dental treament for prenvention of complications.
