Résumé

Locally advanced oral cavity carcinoma (LAOCSCC) is primarily treated with surgery followed by radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy. A review of literature using PubMED was performed for studies reporting the management of LAOCSCC. Based on the reviewed literature and opinions of experts in the field, recommendations were made. Studies have shown that outcomes following resection of T4a and infranotch (inferior to mandibular notch) T4b are comparable. We discuss the concept of compartmental resection of LAOCSCC and issues concerning the management of the neck. Further, patients who refuse or are unable to undergo surgery can be treated with chemoradiotherapy with uncertain outcomes. The role of neoadjuvant chemotherapy has shown promise for organ (mandibular) preservation in a select subset of patients. The management strategy for LAOCSCC should be determined in a multidisciplinary setting with emphasis on tumor control, functional preservation, and quality of life of the patient.
