| Abstract;We retrospectively reviewed 142 patients who underwent partial glossectomy at the Division of Head and Neck Surgery, National Cancer Center Hospital, and the National Cancer Center Hospital East. We examined the results of per-oral partial glossectomy to reveal an indication for partial glossectomy by the pull-through method. The overall survival rate of 130 patients who underwent per-oral partial glossectomy was 81 percent. There were 13 local recurrent cases. In these cases, four recurred at the base of the tongue, and five at the oral floor. We supposed there was some possibility of avoiding recurrence if these nine patients had been treated with the pull-through method. Meanwhile, in the 12 patients who underwent partial glossectomy by the pull-through method, there was only one local recurrence at the deep region of the tongue. Partial glossectomy by pull-through method is well indicated for patients whose tumors invade to the base of the tongue or oral floor. Thus, an almost partial glossectomy can be performed by the per-oral method. (author abst.) |
