Abstract
Despite advances in radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy, radical surgery still remains by far the single most effective means for controlling advanced cancers of the cheek, including their local extensions and regional metastases into lymph nodes. The destructive and incapacitating nature of radical extirpative management, however, is prohibitive unless they can be neutralized by the judicious application of reconstructive techniques for effective, safe, and expeditious rehabilitation.Keywords
