Comprehensive survival analysis of oral squamous cell carcinoma patients undergoing initial radical surgery

Abstract

The survival prognosis of OSCC patients is significantly associated with clinical stage, PNI, lymph node metastasis, pathological differentiation, and recurrence or metastasis. Pathological differentiation, PNI and recurrence or metastasis are independent risk factors affecting survival. Routine clinical screening for ESCC may be recommended for OSCC patients with a history of alcohol consumption and tobacco use.
