Computed Tomography in Predicting the Mandibular Involvement by Oral Cancer, a Retrospective Study.

ABSTRACT: Despite several newer advancements in imaging technology, no new investigative modality has been introduced to clinical practice in the recent times that is accurate and yet cost-effective. As a result, the majority of cancer centers across the globe rely on computed tomography to diagnose and estimate bone involvement in oral cancer. Here, we evaluated the reliability of computed tomography in predicting the mandibular invasion in our cohort of oral cancer patients who had undergone mandibulectomy. In this retrospective study, conducted at a tertiary cancer care facility, the patients of oral cancer who were operated at our center between 1st October 2018 and 30th September 2020 were considered. The sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of the computed tomo
