¿Cuál Es el Tratamiento Quirúrgico del Carcinoma Espinocelular de Mucosa Bucal?
El cáncer de mucosa bucal —carcinoma espinocelular del revestimiento de la mejilla— requiere una planificación quirúrgica cuidadosa para lograr márgenes de resección libres evitando al mismo tiempo defectos funcionales extensos. El protocolo define los objetivos de márgenes, los métodos de evaluación intraoperatoria y las opciones de reconstrucción del defecto intraoral.

- Thirty-nine (85%) of the surgeons would resect the tumor with a mucosal margin of 10 mm and a deep margin of 10 mm.
- When the head and neck surgeons were asked what clinical (macroscopic) tumor-free deep resection margin they would accept to prevent a through-and-through defect, 31 (67%) would accept a tumor-free margin ≤5 mm, 6 (13%) accept a tumor-free margin between 6 and 9 mm, and 9 (20%) would make a through-and-through defect if the tumor-free margin would be <10 mm.
- To measure this tumor-free margin, 40 of the 46 (87%) surgeons would like to use intraoperative US.
- The intraoral defect can be closed with a local flap or free flap, depending on the size of the defect.
