Abstract

A series of 150 commando operations performed for squamous cell carcinoma of the mouth has been presented. This series is analyzed according to a staging which differs from the TNM standard classification of the Joint Committee. Our criteria of staging are based on local invasion by the primary lesion more than on the size of the lesion alone. The five-year survival for the 50 patients with lesions in the anterior part of the mouth was 62%; for the middle mouth group, 48%; and for the posterior mouth group, 24%.
