Rodrigo Arrangoiz MS, MD, FACS, FSSO
  • In general, small and superficial tumors of the oral cavity:
    • Are equally amenable to being cured by:
      • Surgical resection or radiotherapy
  • Therefore use of a single modality:
    • Is preferred as the definitive treatment in:
      • Early stage (T1 and T2) tumors of the oral cavity
  • When the end point of treatment:
    • That is, cure of cancer:
      • Is comparable:
        • Other factors must play a role in the selection of initial treatment
        • These factors include:
          • Complications
          • Cost
          • Convenience
          • Compliance
          • Long-term sequelae of treatment
  • Considering these factors:
    • Surgery is the preferred treatment for T1 and T2 tumors of the oral cavity
