Suchttherapie alkohol- und nikotinkranker Patienten mit Karzinomen im Kopf-Hals-Bereich

Abstract

In light of the high prevalence of carcinomas of the oral cavity in patients with alcohol and nicotine addiction, mandatory withdrawal therapy should be offered in the form of postoperative treatment to prevent recurrence or the development of second primary tumors, as well as to improve the quality of life and encourage social rehabilitation. Before further treatment, for example, with retinoids, a successful withdrawal treatment should be completed.
