Survival and clinicopathological characteristics of different histological grades of oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma: A single-center retrospective study.

ABSTRACT: The TNM staging system for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) provides clinicians a dependable foundation for patient prognosis and management decisions, but in clinical practice, treatment outcomes of patients with OSCC are sometimes unsatisfactory. This retrospective study investigated the association between survival and clinicopathological characteristics and histological grades of 2535 patients with OSCC. Additionally, the present study aimed to compare the predictive abilities of histological grades with other common prognostic factors.
