A retrospective study on patients, treated for intraoral squamous cell carcinoma in Copenhagen county, is reported. The material included 156 patients, 66 females and 90 males. Age at diagnosis varied between 35 and 95 years with a mean of 65 years. Mean age of females/males was 70/62 years. Twelve therapeutic modalities were performed; surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and different combinations of these. Three and five years crude survival were 43% and 37%. Three and five years crude survival rates were 70% and 61% for patients in stage I, 39% and 32% for patients in stage II, 29% and 16% for patients in stage III and 19% and 17% for patients in stage IV. The results are similar to those achieved in other centers. Since no significant improvement has been noted in patient survival during the last 5-6 decades and since the therapeutic morbidity has not always been acceptable to the patients, other therapeutic principles such as the so-called minimal invasive therapy should be considered in future treatment of intraoral cancer.
