Abstract
We administered UFT to a 70-year-old female with squamous cell carcinoma of the palatal mucosa (T1 N0 M0) who had not consented to radical surgical treatment. The tumor disappeared grossly and histopathologically after 1 month, and no adverse reaction to oral administration of UFT was noted. The patient remains under observation.
