Forty-nine patients had a radium implant for carcinoma of the oral tongue. In thirty-four of the forty-nine (70 per cent), local three year control of the cancer was achieved. Three patients in whom the radiation failed were rescued by subsequent surgery. The five year absolute survival in this series was 63.8 per cent. In conclusion, we believe that improved survival rates without functional and cosmetic defect can be obtained by closer cooperation between surgeons and radiotherapists.
49例口腔舌癌患者接受了镭植入治疗。49例中的34例（70%）实现了癌症的局部三年控制。3例放疗失败的患者通过后续手术得到挽救。该系列的五年绝对生存率为63.8%。总之，我们认为外科医生和放疗医生之间更密切的合作可以提高生存率，同时避免功能和美观缺陷。
