Search for: [Abstract = "The most common malignancy of the anterior tongue is the squamous cell cancer that shows a varying degree of differentiation. The aim of the work is to evaluate the outcome of the treatment of patients with the anterior tongue cancer treated in the period 1997\-2008 depending on the stage of the cancer and the assessment of postoperative quality of life. Statistical analysis showed that patients with GI or I\/II cancer have a significantly longer total and relapse\-free survival time than other patients, patients with IVa\-IVb stage showed shorter overall survival time than patients with III stage and, in turn, the latter survived shorter than patients with stages I\-II, in patients with pN\+ the following occurred with a statistically significant higher frequency\: recurrence, death due to the cancer, and the 3\-, 5\- and 10\-year overall and relapse\-free survival times were significantly shorter than in patients with pN0, patients whose primary tumour has been removed radically with a wide margin had longer overall and recurrence\-free survival than patients whose lesion has been excised non\-radically or radically with a narrow margin of healthy tissue, in case of a relapse of the cancer in patients subjected to chemo\- or radiotherapy, the likelihood of surviving 3 or 5 years is significantly lower , the death rate due to the cancer was higher and the total survival time was shorter com"]
