Infiltration of the mandible was diagnosed in 14 \(70%\) of the patients who underwent resection of the alveolar part of the mandible \(6\) or segmental resection of the mandibular shaft \(14\).Metastasis to the lymph nodes were confirmed in 112 \(64.4%\) out of the group of 174 patients who underwent lymph nodes excision, including 35 \(31.3%\) patients with extracapsular spread. In the group of 165 \(53.9%\) patients, metastasis were confirmed in 49 \(29.7%\) of cases.Total 3\- year survival rate was 32.6%, 5\-year 23.5% and 10\-year 12.1%."]
