Surgery Management of Late-Stage Oral Cancer


Yuwei CHIU

Late-stage oral cancer includes T4a and T4b. Management of oral cancer includes surgery or concurrent chemo and radiotherapy. Many studies showed patients who received surgery may have more prolonged survival than chemo and radiotherapy. However, surgery may be challenging when the tumor extends to masticatory space and infratemporal fossa. Few studies have suggested the approach methods and showed that the tumor can be resected with a clear vision. I advocated my surgery experience for late-stage oral cancer, including T4a and the tumor ablation surgery over the masticatory region. Some surgery tips are also shown in my presentation.
