[Complex radiodiagnosis of oropharyngeal neoplasms].

The paper describes the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spiral computed tomographic (SCT) symptoms of malignant and benign tumors of the oral cavity and throat. It also depicts different types of tumors, such as squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, papilloma, and lipoma. The MRI and SCT symptoms of malignant and benign tumors, as well as metastatic lesion in lymph nodes and destruction of bone elements are described in detail.

[Means of improvement of surgical treatment for oropharyngeal planocellular carcinoma].

A new technique of intraoperative bolus-assisted administration of chemical drugs for oropharyngeal carcinoma has been developed. In tongue tumor, the lingual artery was ligated at the site of origin from the external carotid artery and catheter was installed after venous flow was blocked. Bolus was used to administer 5-fluorouracyl intraoperatively before and after removal of primary tumor.

[Surgical method in treatment of squamous cell carcinoma of the mouth cavity and oral part of the pharynx].

Surgical method of treatment was used in 194 patients with tumors of the mouth cavity and oral part of the pharynx. Combined treatment (radiation therapy and operation in various combinations) was used in 110 of these patients and in 84 patients the treatment was complex (polychemotherapy + operation + postoperative course of radiation therapy). Comparative characterization of operations fulfilled on the initial focus has shown that the number of function-saving operations in the group of patients treated by complex methods was 86.

[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.
