Summary:Malignant oral tumors account for 6 % in the total cancer incidence. The rate of recurrent tumors ranges from 25 to 50 %. About 80 % of patients with failed treatment are to undergo radiation, chemoradiation, or drug therapy. After retreatment, severe complications occur in more than half of the patients even to death (2 %).
