DIAGNOSIS
Physical examination- Visual inspection and palpation of all
mucosal surfaces, bimanual palpation of the floor of the mouth
and clinical assessment of the neck for lymph node
involvement.
Biopsy- Confirmatory test
Fine needle aspiration cytology
Routine pan endoscopy
Three-dimensional imaging with computed tomography (CT) and
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
STAGING
PROGNOSTIC FACTORS
Predictors of Poor prognosis:
Increasing tumor thickness(>4mm)
Poorly differentiated
High grade tumors
Perineural,Vascular and lymphatic invasion.
DNA ploidy status such as aneuploid carry worst prognosis
Verrucuous Ca has better one
PROGNOSIS
Stage 1: 80 90 %
Stage 2: 70 80 %
Stage 3: 30 50 %
Stage 4: 20 30 %
MANAGEMENT
T1 Tumor <2cm in greatest dimension
N2c Metastasis in bilateral or contralateral LN, all nodes
<6cm
M0 No distant metastases
Stage IVa
pushing margins vs infiltrative growth patterns
- better outcomes with pushing margins
Synchronous lesion
a second primary tumor detected simultaneously or within 6
months of the initial primary tumor
Metachronous (80%)
- emergence of a second primary lesion more than 6 months after
discovery of the index tumor
- with 50% of cases presenting within the first 2 years of initial
Perioperative antibiotics
Prophylactic antibiotics
- most effective when administered immediately before surgery
and for up to 24 hours postoperatively.
Extended use of antibiotics in postsurgical patients
- no decrease in the risk of infectious complications or fistula
formation
SURGERY
Treatment of the Primary Lesion
Size, Location, and associated involved anatomy
Transoral wide local excision
- Majority of oral tongue carcinomas (75%) are T2 or smaller
- Frozen section confirmation of the margin status is necessary
before pursuing reconstruction
Mandibulotomy-based approach
- Advanced-stage oral tongue lesions
Visor or degloving approach
- Advanced-staged tumors of the anterior oral tongue and floor of
mouth
SURGERY
Treatment of the Primary Lesion
Agents used:
peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)
Isotretinoin
COX-2 inhibitors.
Because of the side effects associated with some agents (in particular
with retinoids) and lack of proven efficacy, general application in the
clinical setting has not occurred
Chemoprevention
Lyophilized black raspberries and vitamins C and E
Tested in animal models
reduced the number of dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA)-
induced tumors within a hamster cheek pouch and may prove
to have a role in chemoprevention
The method chosen for reconstruction depends on the nature of the defect and
the patients comorbidities
Options, after the resection of small lesions, include allowing the wound to heal by
secondary intention, primary closure, and split-thickness skin or dermal grafting.
Depending on the size and location of the defect, various advancement and
rotation flaps serve as reconstructive options. Use of buccal fat, temporoparietal
fascia, or pectoralis major flaps each offer unique options for soft tissue
reconstruction.
Long-Term Management and
Rehabilitation
Speech and Swallowing
To achieve the optimal functional outcome, it is important that the speech and
swallowing therapist evaluates the patient before treatment.
As a rule, the more limited the surgical resection, the less likely a patient is to
experience significant functional impact on speech and swallowing.
Patients requiring wide surgical resections of the retromolar trigone or procedures
that extend deep within the tongue base experience the most significant impact
on swallowing
Floor of mouth resections are associated with a detrimental effect on chewing
Radiation, alone or in combination with surgery, has a side effect profile including
problems such as xerostomia, lymphedema, and fibrosis with scar contracture
Pain Management
Second phase
cancer surveillance
monitoring for locoregional recurrence
an annual chest radiograph, liver
function tests, and comprehensive
head and neck examination are
important for detecting metachronous
lesions
biannual thyroid-stimulating hormone
(TSH) determination is necessary for
patients after neck irradiation, as are
frequent dental evaluations for
Complications
Late complication
Osteoradionecrosis
Delayed pathologic fracture
Nonunion of mandible
Summary
The oral cavity is a unique site within the head and neck in that the
accessibility of the region readily allows for the identification of
premalignant and early-staged lesions
The preferred primary treatment modality for oral cavity malignancies
is surgical.
Given that speech and swallowing function are profoundly affected by
the treatment of oral tumors, oncologic resection and reconstruction
require careful preoperative planning.
For advanced-staged lesions, the use of combination therapysurgery
followed by postoperative radiation therapy remains the optimal
treatment option.
Management by a multidisciplinary team is critical to provide the
patient with the best chance for control of cancer while achieving the
best functional outcomes.
