| | Radiation therapy for lip and oral cavity cancers can be by external-beam radiation therapy or interstitial implantation alone, but for many sites the use of both modalities produces better control and functional results. | | | Most patients present with early cancers of the lip, which are highly curable by surgery or by radiation therapy with cure rates of 90% to 100%. | | | The results of 18 ongoing trials may further clarify the role of concomitant chemotherapy and radiation therapy in the management of oral cavity cancer. |
