Abstract
The value of the International Union Against Cancer (UICC) classification of oral cavity cancer can be enhanced by clarifying some of its obscurities. Particular attention is paid to the definition of the following: 1. The floor of the mouth; 2. The alveolo-lingual sulci; 3. The posterior boundary between oral cavity and oropharynx, and 4. The retromolar space and trigone. A description is given of some of the special pathways of spread that may be followed by malignant disease arising in certain of the sites and sub-sites defined.
