 note = {application/pdf, Masticatory and swallowing disorders are common symptoms of oral cancer or sequelae of its treatment. Because these disorders can profoundly affect posttreatment recovery, it is important to predict and evaluate disorders using efficient evaluation methods. In this study, using the Swallowing Ability Score (SAS), convenient scoring criteria consisted of the MTF score and the Dysphagia score, we prospectively evaluated masticatory and swallowing disorders after surgical treatment of oral cancer. Data were obtained from 40 patients diagnosed as having resectable oral cancer at staging from 1998 to 2005 and successive questionnaires for both scores were completed before and after surgery. As previously reported by other institutions, the MTF score was strongly correlated with the Dysphagia score (r=0.977), and both total scores were significantly decreased in accordance with the size of the tumor. Both scores also showed less improvement 12 months after surgery in advanced T-stage cases. The rates of reduction of both MTF and Dysphagia total score after surgery did not differ significantly between the groups with tongue and gingival cancer. In contrast, for the rates of improvement ofDysphagia scores 12 months after surgery, the group of gingival cancer showed a higher average in comparison with the group of tongue cancer, suggesting that systematic early training based upon efficient perioperative evaluation of functional disorders is especially important in the treatment of tongue cancer.},
