Pathological factors involved in local failure in squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity: retrospective study and proposal of a new clinical classification

In this study, LF of OSCC was classified into three clinical types: deep recurrence (type 1R), adjacent superficial recurrence (type 2R), and distant primary tumour (type 3R). LF was analyzed after surgical resection of OSCC to determine the validity and usefulness of this classification system. Of 257 patients with OSCC, 58 experienced LF; 21 had type 1R, 23 had type 2R, and 20 had type 3R.
