Clinical characteristics, treatment methods and prognoses of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma in Japanese population: a single institution retrospective cohort study.


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:The status of oral cancer therapy in elderly patients in Japan, where ageing is rapidly progressing, may serve as a model for other countries with similar demographics. There is controversy over what kind of treatment should be applied and how aggressively it should be applied to very elderly patients who have exceeded the average life expectancy. Given that 85?years is approximately the overall Japanese life expectancy at birth, we considered a threshold of 85?years and hypothesized that the prognosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) patients aged ?85?years was not inferior to that of those
