Overview
Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for oral cancer.
Surgery
- Surgical resection of full extent of lesion of the oral cavity should be done.
- If oral cancer is detected early, before it has metastasized then surgical resection is done.
- Advanced-stage and recurrent cancers:
- Surgery is done in combination with radiation therapy, chemotherapy or targeted therapy.
- Surgical excision of the tumor is usually recommended if the tumor is small enough, and if surgery is likely to result in a functionally satisfactory result.
- Depending on the stage of oral cancer, one or more of the following procedures is recommended:
- Tumor resection
- Mohs micrographic surgery
- Full or partial mandible resection
- Glossectomy
- Maxillectomy
- Laryngectomy
- Neck dissection
- Partial or selective neck dissection
- Modified radical neck dissection
- Radical neck dissection
Other Surgical Procedures for Oral Cancer
- Pedicle or free flap reconstruction
- Tracheostomy
- Gastrostomy tube
- Dental extraction and implants
