A recent study conducted at the Malabar Cancer Centre in Kerala, India, examined the survival outcomes and prognostic factors in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) who experienced locoregional recurrence. The study included 118 patients who had been treated with curative intent between 1997 and 2017. The researchers found that salvage surgery and time to recurrence were significant factors affecting survival outcomes in patients with OSCC. Salvage surgery was found to improve survival, particularly in cases of early recurrence, while late recurrences were associated with better survival outcomes. The study highlights the importance of considering tumor biology in guiding treatment options for recurrent OSCC. [Extracted from the article] |
