Predictors of locoregional control in stage I/II oral squamous cell carcinoma classified by AJCC 8th edition

ConclusionPNI and differentiation accurately predict LRC in AJCC 8th edition classified stage I/II OSCC. PNI was a stronger predictor of locoregional failure than DOI in stage II disease. By incorporating these parameters, we can improve precision in staging of early OSCC and identify potential candidates for treatment escalation to improve outcomes.
