Résumé
The study includes 346 carcinomas of the oral cavity (244 mobile tongues and 102 floors of mouth) treated by brachytherapy alone at primary tumor. We noted 199 T1, 131 T2, 14 T3 and 2 TxNx. Among T1, 36 patients had a neck dissection as well as 73 T2. Brachytherapy was performed according to the Paris system. In 59 cases, the curage on the lesion side was a radical neck dissection, in 14 cases a functional neck dissection and in 45 cases a submaxillary and submental dissection. A combined controlateral neck dissection was performed in 20 cases. A complementary irradiation of the node areas was given in 28 cases.
