FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, oncology, and can be used in surgical treatment of tongue cancer. At the first stage under local anesthesia with novocaine solution into femoral vein from the side of injury guide is introduced and brought under radioscopy control into corresponding carotid artery, guide is installed at the orifice into corresponding lingual artery. Chemical embolisation of lingual artery is performed and guide is removed. At the second stage total biopsy of tumour ulceration is performed. At the third stage high-frequency hyperthermia of tongue is performed by thermal impact at temperatures 60-80 degrees Celsius during two minutes, with application of multiple introduction of apparatus antenna, which contains active electrode, into tongue tissue by punctures in area of lateral - free- edge of that half of tongue where tumour was located, from tongue tip to its root, to the depth not less than 1-2 cm.

EFFECT: such total and uniform impact ensures death of tumour cells, their "blocking" on tumour boundary, prevention of hematogenic and lymphatic cancer spread, intraoperation complications, in particular, bleeding; makes it possible to carry out complete histological analysis on tongue tissues which were not modified by hyperthermia.
