    Journal: Gan To Kagaku Ryoho; 1992 Apr; 19(4):525-7. PubMed ID: 1373049.
    Abstract:
    A 70-year-old male complained of a mass on the left side of his tongue. A biopsy specimen was diagnosed as verrucous carcinoma. He was treated with preoperative chemotherapy (UFT, CDDP, PEP) and irradiation, continuous partial glossectomy. The tumor response to chemotherapy was excellent, and no tumor cells were found in the surgical specimen. There was no recurrence of the tumor 1 year and 7 months after therapy. For advanced tumors, preoperative chemotherapy appears to be significantly effective.
