Major glossectomy is the treatment of choice in locally advanced tongue cancer. It remains the only option in the presence of recurrent or residual disease. The long-term outcomes for patients undergoing major glossectomy have traditionally been poor, with significant morbidity and poor oncological outcomes. The aim of this study was to report on oncological outcomes in patients undergoing major glossectomy.
