Carcinoma of the tongue is a common condition treated by oral and maxillofacial surgeons. The tongue is a complex anatomical site at the entrance of the oropharynx, bounded by the floor of mouth and lingual mandibular cortex; its form and mobility are crucial for efficient swallowing; speech, and the appreciation of taste. Single and multiple treatments have been used, but the tongue remains a difficult area to assess and treat. In this paper, we have attempted to review some of the papers published over the last 20 years with particular reference to prognosis and functional outcome. We have dealt exclusively with squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue and its management by surgery, radiotherapy, brachytherapy, photodynamic therapy, and chemotherapy.
舌癌是口腔颌面外科医生治疗的常见病症。舌头是口咽入口处一个复杂的解剖部位，其边界为口底和下颌舌侧皮质；其形态和活动度对于有效吞咽、言语及味觉感知至关重要。人们采用了单一和多种治疗方法，但舌头仍是一个难以评估和治疗的区域。在本文中，我们试图回顾过去20年发表的一些论文，特别关注预后和功能结果。我们专门探讨了舌鳞状细胞癌及其通过手术、放疗、近距离放疗、光动力疗法和化疗进行的治疗。
