Among the subjects there were 57 cases with cancer of tongue and 45 cases with cancer of buccal mucosa. 27 cases in the group were classified as stage II, 55 as stage III and 20 cases as stage IV according to TNM standard. All cases accepted PYM + 5-Fu + DDP combined chemotherapy pre-operatively. The total given dose was PYM 48 mg, 5-Fu 7.5 g and DDP 300 mg. After the chemotherapy, radical surgery were performed within 2 weeks. The diagnosis of all cases were proved as OSCC by biopsy.
