This can be attributed to the increased consumption of tobacco in various forms such as chewing, snuffing, powder or paste and smoking along with betel nut and areca nut. The majority of patients with oral cavity cancer present in an advanced stage which carries a poor prognosis.

The objective of this case report is to show the efficacy and impact of 5FU and MTX as induction chemotherapy in advanced oral cancers.
