Summary

Ninteen cases of advanced oral carcinoma were treated by continuous intraaterial infusion by cyclophosphamide. A newer technique by using Evan's Blue dye for visualizing the arterial supply was used and was found effective as the colour disappeared after a few minutes.

The response to the therapy has been evaluated and results are presented. In three patients the disease was brought to the point where surgery could be per-formed resulting in long term freedom from disease.
