Preoperative thromboelastography parameters in predicting the tumour stage of oral squamous cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A variety of solid tumours, including oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), can cause coagulation abnormalities, and this phenomenon is known as tumour-associated hypercoagulation. We aimed to explore the preoperative thromboelastography (TEG) parameter profiles of OSCC patients, and to investigate their trends in relation to tumour stage progression, and to evaluate their value for predicting cervical lymph node metastasis.

Methods

Data on thromboelastographic parameters and conventional coagulation indices were retrospectively collected, and comparisons were performed among preoperative primary OSCC patients (n = 311), recurrent/metastatic OSCC patients (n = 44) and a control group (n = 71). Among primary OSCC patients, the correlation with tumour stage and the p
