Resection of early oral squamous cell carcinoma with positive or close margins: Relevance of adjuvant treatment in relation to local recurrence

Abstract

With this treatment strategy, the local recurrence rate was 4.5%. No evidence was found for local adjuvant treatment in case of close margins ⩾3 mm with ⩽2 unfavourable histological parameters. Current data do not support the use of one treatment modality above any other.
