ABSTRACT
Oral carcinomas have been one of the main causes of mortality and morbidity. Tobacco chewing and cigarette smoking being the most common etiological factors management of these oral cavity cancers must take into account many factors; T1 lesions can be effectively removed using surgical removal, laser destruction or radiation therapy, while hallmark for intermediate stage oral cavity cancers is combined surgical resection with reconstruction and post-operative adjuvant radiation therapy. Treatment of these carcinomas adversely affects oral competence, ability to speech and deglutition, patient specific factors such as strong support system and patient independence must be considered, thus in this article we would review the morbidities-related post-operatively to the oral carcinomas.
