Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate outcome and value of follow-up of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the buccal mucosa in patients treated at the Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre, The Netherlands. A longitudinal cohort study was performed involving 32 patients treated with curative intent (surgery on indication followed by radiotherapy) for SCC of the buccal mucosa from 1987 to 2002, with a minimum follow-up of three years. The prognosis of SCC of the buccal mucosa is comparable to other sites of the oral cavity. The success rate of therapy for a local and/or regional recurrence is very limited. Patients with a second primary tumour (SPT) can be cured if the tumour is detected in an early stage. Routine follow-up used to detect local recurrence or SPT has almost no value after five years and seems of limited value after three years.
