Oral Cavity Cancer Institutional Database Evaluating Characteristics Predictive for Cancer Recurrence and Survival

Despite significant advancements made in cancer diagnostic and treatment strategies, oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC) continues to have one of the highest rates of mortality among head and neck cancer sites even after trimodality care (surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy). In this retrospective study, we aim to identify factors that predict outcomes and to provide prognostic information to better assist clinicians in making treatment-related decisions
