Significant Prognostic Factors Influencing the Survival Difference of Oral Tongue Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma is the most common malignancy in the oral cavity. Overall survival varies across many countries, and poor prognosis is prevalent in developing countries, including Thailand. Our study aimed to identify prognostic factors that affected survival for oral tongue cancer in Thailand.

Methods

We performed a retrospective study of 183 patients diagnosed with oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma between January 2012 and December 2016 and who underwent multidisciplinary treatment. The disease stage was classified by tumor-nodes-metastasis (TNM) staging system. The survival outcome was calculated and represented in median survival time. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were used to identify factors that impacted
