Squamous carcinoma of the tongue: review
Abstract
Carcinoma of the tongue is a common condition treated by oral and maxillofacial surgeons. The tongue is a complex anatomical site at the entrance of the oropharynx, bounded by the floor of mouth and lingual mandibular cortex; its form and mobility are crucial for efficient swallowing; speech, and the appreciation of taste. Single and multiple treatments have been used, but the tongue remains a difficult area to assess and treat. In this paper, we have attempted to review some of the papers published over the last 20 years with particular reference to prognosis and functional outcome. We have dealt exclusively with squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue and its management by surgery, radiotherapy, brachytherapy, photodynamic therapy, and chemotherapy.
