Adjuvant ChemoRadiotherapy Prior to Surgery in Stage IVa Oral Cancers

Summary

Oral cancer is the single largest cancer in males in India. 90-95% cases of oral cancer are Squamous cell carcinomas and many of them present at late stages (T3 and above). Treatment of OSCC includes single modality surgery, radiotherapy, or combinations of these modalities with or without systemic therapy. For unresectable cases, radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy is the treatment modality. Efficacy of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for resectable stage IV tumors (late stage) needs to be evaluated to assess its benefit before surgery.
