Prognostic significance of preoperative Naples prognostic score for disease-free and overall survival in oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma post-surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC) is a common malignancy with high morbidity and mortality. This research seeks to assess the correlation between Naples Prognostic Score (NPS) and survival outcomes in patients with OCSCC who are receiving surgical treatment, highlighting its potential as a prognostic tool for predicting patient outcomes.

Methods

This retrospective study included 589 OCSCC patients from two large regional medical centers in central China, treated between February 2008 and September 2019. Inclusion criteria mandated confirmed OCSCC diagnosis, age ≥ 18 years, and radical surgery, while patients with distant metastasis, multiple tumors, or insufficient data were excluded. Data on 29 clinicopathological variables, including demographic detail
