This study is aimed to compare surgery with adjuvant radiation practiced at center A with Radical radiation practiced at center B in terms of disease control and quality of life (QOL) for OCC patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Wide excision and neck dissection with or without reconstruction was followed by adjuvant radiation with or without chemotherapy in selected cases in center A. Radical chemoradiation was used in center B. Their disease status at 2 years of follow-up was assessed along with QOL.
