Abstract: Most patients with oral and maxillofacial malignancy, especially squamous cell carcinoma(SCC) are in the middle and advanced stages at diagnosis. Chemotherapy alone is difficult to benefit the survival of patients with advanced oral and maxillofacial SCC. Ultrasound hyperthermia is a new and effective treatment for malignant tumor, which is developing rapidly in addition to conventional treatment. However, at present, ultrasound hyperthermia has not been widely used in the treatment of oromaxillofacial head and neck SCC. Therefore, formation of an expert consensus on ultrasound hyperthermia for oromaxillofacial head and neck SCC is mandatory, in order to promote and standardize the clinical practice of ultrasound hyperthermia in this field, and improve the long-term survival rate and quality of life of patients.
