Thirty-six patients of squamous cell carcinoma of the oral tongue received initial treatment at Tenri Hospital from 1966 to 1980. Twenty-two were male and fourteen were female, the average age being 58, 3. The overall five-year survival rate was 49%. Through the analysis of these patients in terms of the TNM classification and of the methods of treatment used, the following conclusions were drawn.1) The most important prognostic factor appears to be the status of the cervical lymph nodes.2) Postoperative radiation is advantageous as compared to preoperative radiation; and, moreover, the former procedure is more effective in improving the survival rate than surgical operation only.3) It is uncertain whether the prophylactic neck dissection is a helpful procedure for increasing the survival rate.
