Abstract
The cryogenic treatment results that have no analogues in Russian and foreign practice were analyzed in 121 patients with tongue cancer. The data on survival rates were used to objectively evaluate the efficiency of tongue cancer cryodestruction in accordance with the extent and pattern of a tumor process. Analysis of long-term (5–30-years) results indicated the efficiency of cryodestruction used alone and in combination with radiation and drug therapies in 83.6 % of the new-onset patients and in 73.3 % of the patients with circumscribed recurrences and residual tumors. Recurrent cancer occurred in 19.3 % of 109 patients who had completed treatment: in 16.4 % of the new-onset patients and in 26.7 % of the patients with recurrences and uncured tumors. Local complications from the wound occurred in 6.6 % of the patients and were abolished in the postoperative period.
