Survival
At the Regional Maxillofacial Unit, the disease specific survival for oral and oropharyngeal cancer treated by primary surgery with or without radiotherapy is comparable to the best units in the world. The graph below demonstrates the disease specific survival and shows that of the patients with oral and oro-pharyngeal cancer treated at Aintree.
Oral and Oropharyngeal survival by P stage
The P stage (pathological stage - the degree to which the cancer has spread) is related to survival with more extensive cancers often having poorer survival. The graph show survival for squamous celll carcinomas treated by the Regional Maxillofacial Unit. If you have any questions please get in touch.
How will cancer affect my life?
We have compiled over 800 individual questionnaires completed by our patients over the last 10 years to allow users to perform a customisable search to help predict what their quality of life might be like after surgery / radiotherapy. Use the link below to access this part of our site.
Patient Audio Stories
Some of our previous patients have kindly provided audio storeis. these give fantastic insights into their own personal struggle with head and neck cancer and we hope that you will find them inspiring.
