A study was made of the frequency of metastatic spreading to the regional neck lymph nodes and long-term results of therapy of 126 patients with cancer of the movable part of the tongue with clinically intact regional lymph nodes of the neck. With regard to an employed modality (irradiation, alone and in combination with surgery, surgery and observation) the frequency of metastatic spreading to the neck lymph nodes was 20, 7, 17, and 34%, respectively, and 22% for the whole group. The 5-year survival rates were 79, 50, 49, and 67%, and 61% for the whole group. The main cause of death in 40% of the patients was a primary tumor recurrence versus 17% following the other modalities.
