Overview
In 1831, Jaeger first described splitting the Cheek and Maisonneuve took matters by splitting both cheeks. By 1930s, Hayes Martin was the first to focus on improving cure rates by treating the primary tumor with X-rays. By 1928, V. P. Blair of St Louis was the first to advocate surgery as the best management for oral cancers. A major initiative of the 1970s and 1980s was cytotoxic chemotherapy for patients who unfit for surgeries.
