Oral cancer continues to be a significant public health burden worldwide, with tobacco and alcohol use identified as the main culprits. Due to the varying locations within the oral cavity where this cancer can arise, a comprehensive and collaborative treatment plan involving multiple disciplines is crucial. Among available treatment options, surgery remains the most established and primary definitive therapy, particularly for early-stage and localized tumors.
Despite advancements in radiotherapy and chemotherapy, surgery holds its place as the foundation of oral cancer management, especially for advanced cases where it's often coupled with postoperative radiotherapy. The longstanding success and evolution of surgical techniques highlight their vital role in achieving optimal functional and cosmetic outcomes for patients with this complex condition.
