AB  - The  oral  cavity  is  the  most  common  site  for  squamous  cell  carcinoma  (SCC)  of  the  head  and  neck,  a  disease  that  inflicts  substantial  morbidity  and  mortality  worldwide.1,2  The  primary  modality  of  treatment  for  both  index  and  recurrent  cases  is  surgical  resection,  though  many  patients  present  with  advanced  stage  disease  and  require  a  multidisciplinary  approach.  A  number  of  issues  that  impact  surgical  treatment  must  be  considered,  including  operative  access,  need  for  mandibulectomy,  need  for  neck  dissection,  and  the  type  of  reconstruction.  Recovery  and  rehabilitation  often  require  ancillary  services  that  include  dental,  prosthodontics,  physical  therapy,  as  well  as  speech  and  swallow  therapy.  Patients  with  adverse  pathologic  features  benefit  from  postoperative  radiation;  lymph  node  extracapsular  spread  or  positive  surgical  margins  in  particular  suggest  need  for  chemoradiation.3  The  current  diagnosis  and  management  of  oral  cavity  malignancies  are  reviewed.
