[Combined treatment of patients with oral tumors with extracorporeal neutron-photon therapy].

Combined therapy with preoperative course of remote neutron therapy was given to 29 patients with oral cavity cancer. All the patients had stage III of morphologically verified squamous cell carcinoma. Partial tumor regression after radiotherapy was observed in 39.5 +/- 8.9% patients. Complete regression was not achieved. There was no clear negative effect of preoperative course of remote therapy on the postoperative period in all patients. Local complications as wound edge disjunctions were registered in 13.4% of cases. On day 14-16 after surgery speech therapy rehabilitation was performed.
