[The role of a surgical method in combined and complex treatment of patients with squamous cell oral and oropharyngeal cancer].

Surgery was used in the treatment of 194 patients with tumors of the oral cavity and throat. In 110 of them the treatment was combined (radiotherapy and surgery) and in 84 - complex (polychemotherapy + surgery + postoperative radiotherapy). Characteristics of surgeries are compared. It is demonstrated that number of function-preserving operations in patients given complex treatment was 86.9%, combined treatment - 70.9%.
