Abstract
Many factors have been claimed to influence the clinical prognosis of cancer of the tongue, one of them being the inflammatory response at the advancing tumor border. In a retrospective study of 60 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the oral tongue, lymphocytic peritumoral inflammation was not found to be an objective prognostic marker. © 1994 Springer-Verlag.
