Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: The treatment of tongue tumors includes different surgical procedures ranging from a simple mucosal resection to complex combined resection depending on the tumor stage and size. In 2019 we reported an international glossectomy classification with the purpose of standardizing all the different types of surgical procedures adopted for tongue cancer.
UNASSIGNED: The present communication aims at providing further insight into the glossectomy classification. More specifically, it is intended to better specify the indications to glossectomy type IIIA and B in selected tongue cancers, with positive cervical lymph nodes at the diagnosis.
UNASSIGNED: Type IIIA glossectomy permits a high function sparing surgery in selected cases, with better postoperative functional outcomes. From an oncological perspective, it permits a radical surgery, avoiding postoperative radiation in the absence of extracapsular spread, multiple nodal metastases or T-N tract involvement.

摘要：
UNASSIGNED：舌肿瘤的治疗包括不同的外科手术，从简单的粘膜切除术到复杂的联合切除术，取决于肿瘤的分期和大小。2019年，我们报道了一项国际舌癌切除术分类，目的是标准化舌癌采用的所有不同类型的外科手术。
UNASSIGNED：本通讯旨在提供对舌片切除术分类的进一步见解。更具体地说,它旨在更好地指定在选定的舌癌中进行IIIA和B型舌癌切除术的适应症，诊断时颈部淋巴结阳性。
未经批准：IIIA型舌状切除术允许在某些情况下进行高功能保留手术，具有更好的术后功能结果。从肿瘤学的角度来看，它允许进行根治性手术，在没有囊外扩散的情况下避免术后放疗，多淋巴结转移或T-N束受累。
