Context: Treatment of Stage III Lip and Oral Cavity Cancer
Treatment options for stage III advanced lesions of the retromolar trigone include:
Surgical composite resection, which may be followed by postoperative radiation therapy.
Clinical trials for advanced tumors evaluating the use of chemotherapy preoperatively, before radiation therapy, as adjuvant therapy after surgery, or as part of combined modality therapy are appropriate.[3-6,8-10,12]
Clinical trials using novel radiation therapy fractionation schemas.[13]
