Abstract:
Ablative surgery has been a standard procedure for many years, but during the past few years there has been a significant improvement in our understanding of invasion and metastasis in oral cancer. Each procedure has to be planned individually. Before surgery, every attempt must have been made to arrive at a proper diagnosis, including the exact nature and aggressiveness of the tumor and an analysis of the patient's genetic background. These procedures and the prognosis will be discussed.
