The survival rate of patients suffering from malignant epithelial tumours of the oral cavity and oropharynx remains at present discouragingly low. According to various publications which have appeared in the last few years, it would seem that it is possible to achieve improved results in this field by giving radiation therapy of 40-50 Gy prior to radical surgery. With the application of modern techniques in radiotherapeutics, the incidence of serious post-operative complications in areas of tissue previously irradiated is nowadays very slight. Due to the fact that during radiotherapy the neoplasma either reduces in volume or even disappears completely, its limits must be recorded without fail before treatment is begun. Explanation of the therapeutical concept and initial results.
目前，口腔和口咽恶性上皮肿瘤患者的生存率低得令人沮丧。根据过去几年发表的各种文献，在根治性手术前给予40 - 50 Gy的放射治疗，似乎有可能在该领域取得更好的结果。随着现代放射治疗技术的应用，先前接受过放射治疗的组织区域术后严重并发症的发生率如今非常低。由于在放射治疗期间肿瘤体积会缩小甚至完全消失，在开始治疗前必须毫无遗漏地记录其范围。治疗理念及初步结果说明。
