Transoral surgery (TOS) for patients with early stage oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is increasingly used, however, criticized, because of less optimal access to the tumor than open techniques and thus potentially jeopardizing tumor control in comparison with radiotherapy (RT). Therefore, we compared the currently available data on survival provided by TOS versus RT.
