The exact biologic status of an oral carcinoma is often diflicult to assess on the completion of irradiation. As immediate biopsy is not advisable, oral smears may be of value in the diagnosis of residual neoplasm. A study was made of twenty-five cases in which direct smears were taken from the sites of irradiated oral carcinomas of the floor of the mouth, palate, gingiva, tongue, tonsil, and glossopalatine fold. Smears taken at the completion of radiatiou therapy were of little or no practical Smears taken during the first value in determining the presence of residual neoplasm. few weeks after treatment correlated well with the clinical course and biopsy findings. tool in the follow-up Oral cytology provides a simple, painless, rapitl, and reliable study of irradiated oral carcinomas.
