Tongue Cancer
The main reason for treating small sqamous cancer of the oral tongue with
surgery is that it is at least as curative as radiation, possibly better, it is over with
quickly, oftentimes done as an out patient procedure instead of 5 - 6 weeks of daily
therapy, it may be significantly less expensive, and finally, and most importantly, it
means that if a patient were to later present with a 2nd or 3rd Squamous Cell Cancer
of the mouth/throat/or voice box area, you would still have radiation therapy as a
treatment option, perhaps then being able to avoid a significant and disfiguring
operation. There is a limit as to how much radiation normal tissue can take before it
dies.
Some cases of Oral Tongue Cancer can be treated with just removal of the
primary tumor in the tongue. But as the size of the primary tumor increases the
statistical possibility of some cancer cells spreading through lymphatic vessels to the
lymph nodes of the neck increases. The site and pattern of the involved lymph nodes
is pretty much constant – that is to say we know where in the neck to look for
enlarged lymph nodes that might contain metastatic cancer cells from the oral tongue
cancer. Exceptions to these rules are sometimes seen, but they are uncommon. When
the presence of enlarged lymph nodes in the neck is detected or when the index of
suspicion is high that there may be cancer cells present in lymph nodes, then an
operation called a neck dissection is performed to remove these "secondary" deposits
of cancer. Remember, the oral tongue cancer is the "primary" tumor from where the
spreading cells originate.
There are many forms of neck dissections from radical to conservative and I
can not really go into the differences and unique characteristics of each one. Suffice
to say that this is an area of medical judgement and decision making that relies
heavily on the experience of the surgeon. While many physicians may have had
some exposure to neck dissections at some point in their career, there are very few
Head and Neck Surgeons, usually found in large medical centers, who can truly say
that their career has been dedicated to this type of disease and they have done
hundreds or perhaps thousands of these procedures. At The Head and Neck Surgery
Clinic of Houston, we will have been doing Head and Neck cancer surgery and neck
dissections for half a century come 1999.
Finally, there may sometimes be the need to perform plastic surgery and/or
reconstruction following removal of the tumor, and radiation treatments may have
to be given after the surgery to try to minimize the possibility of recurrence of the
disease and ultimate treatment failure. Yes, sometimes in spite of every effort, every
bit of hard work, in spite of supportive care and even our prayers, some patients will
be lost to this disease. It is a sad thing to have to watch and be a part of, but it is one
of life's unpleasant realities. For now, we will have to content ourselves with the
knowledge that most of our tongue cancer patients survive quite nicely and hope that
new research and new discoveries in the future will allow us to help our patients
even more.
Palate Cancer
Treatments
Radiation therapy is the primary treatment for moderate or advanced cancers
of the soft palate. Laser microsurgery is used for small and medium-sized tumors.
Radiation may be combined with chemotherapy or surgery when needed.
Surgery is the preferred treatment for cancer of the hard palate.

is observed. Make the previous diagnosis? In what lymph nodes possible
metastasizes? Define a method of treatment of the patient.

surface of tongue at the left the found ulcer with transition to a mucous membrane
of a mouth floor, to 2 cm in diameter, painful at a palpation, with a bleeding bottom,
is observed restriction mobile tongue. Surrounding tissues are infiltrating. Make the
previous diagnosis and specify, what methods of research need to be carried out for
diagnosis specification.
(Answer: cancer of a lateral surface of tongue at the left. It is necessary to
