Clinical/Methodical Issue:
Oral cavity malignancies are the most common tumors in the field of ear, nose and throat medicine or otorhinolaryngology worldwide. It comprises a heterogeneous group of tumors, the knowledge of which is necessary to meet the different requirements of diagnostics and therapy.
Standard Radiological Methods:
Computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), sonography (US), nuclear medical procedures (NUK).
Performance:
The above-mentioned diagnostics are used in a complementary manner.
Achievements:
Early diagnosis of the tumor improves staging and thus the patient's therapy and prognosis.
Practical Recommendations:
The radiologist plays an important role in the interdisciplinary treatment of malignant tumors of the oral cavity. Despite great progress in radiotherapy, oncology and immunotherapy, surgery still plays an important role in the treatment of malignant diseases of the oral cavity.
