Several factors have been identified to affect morbidity and mortality in oral cancer patients. The time taken to process a resected cancer specimen in a patient presenting with primary or recurrent disease can be of interest as delay can affect earlier interventions post-surgery. We looked at this variable in a group of 168 consecutive oral cancer patients and assessed its relationship to mortality from the disease at 3 and 5 years. It is expected that delay in pathological processing time of surgical specimens acquired from patients with recurrent disease may increase or contribute to the increased rate of mortality. Further high evidence-based studies are required to confirm this.
已确定有几个因素会影响口腔癌患者的发病率和死亡率。对于患有原发性或复发性疾病的患者，处理切除的癌症标本所需的时间可能值得关注，因为延迟可能会影响术后的早期干预。我们观察了一组168例连续的口腔癌患者的这一变量，并评估了其与该疾病3年和5年死亡率的关系。预计从复发性疾病患者获取的手术标本的病理处理时间延迟可能会增加或导致死亡率上升。需要进一步开展高证据水平的研究来证实这一点。
