Abstract:
Objective To investigate treatment and related prognostic factors of tongue carcinoma .Methods Clinical and patho-logical parameters of 1 171 cases of tongue carcinoma treated in Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery ,School of Stomatolo-gy ,Harbin Medical University and Central South University from 2001 to 2007 were retrospective analyzed ,which included age , gender ,location ,pathological grade ,clinical TNM stages ,and treatment modality .Results After 3 to 5 year of follow-up ,survival rate of patients with tongue body carcinoma was obviously higher than that on the base of tongue .High clinical stage ,low cell dif-ferentiation degree of the postoperative patients had lower survival rate .The prognosis of patients with positive surgical margins and positive lymph node metastasis was poorer .The survival rate had no correlation with excision of mandible .When the tongue was re-stored with flaps ,the safety margins were increased to reduce recurrence .Conclusion Clinical TNM stages and surgical margin are independent prognostic factors for tongue cancer .Early diagnosis and treatment are vital to increase the survival rate of patients .
