- Title
Carcinoma of the tongue: Review of 220 cases.

- Abstract
Two hundred twenty cases of carcinoma of the tongue were reviewed. The three-year determinant survival of 178 cases was 32.5 percent. The five-year determinant survival of 169 cases was 29 percent. Only five patients of 41 who developed late node metastasis survived five years. Sixtynine of 79 patients treated for cure by X-ray therapy developed recurrence. Thirteen were salvaged by secondary treatment. Twenty-eight of 44 patients treated surgically developed recurrences. Eight were saved by secondary treatment. Because of a high percentage of recurrences at the primary site and a poor salvage of these recurrences, combined therapy is felt to offer the best hope for improved survivals.
