This review aims at simplifying the relevant imaging anatomy, guiding the optimal imaging method and highlighting the key imaging findings that influence prognosis and management of oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Early OSCC can be treated with either surgery alone while advanced cancers are treated with a combination of surgery, radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy. Considering the complex anatomy of the oral cavity and its surrounding structures, imaging plays an indispensable role not only in locoregional staging but also in the distant metastatic work-up and post treatment follow-up. Knowledge of the anatomy with understanding of common routes of spread of cancer, allows the radiologist to accurately determine disease extent and augment clinical findings to plan appropriate therapy. This review aims at simplifying the relevant imaging anatomy, guiding the optimal imaging method and highlighting the key imaging findings that influence prognosis and management.
本综述旨在简化相关影像学解剖知识，指导最佳影像学方法，并强调影响口腔鳞状细胞癌（OSCC）预后和治疗的关键影像学发现。早期 OSCC 可单独手术治疗，而晚期癌症则采用手术、放疗和/或化疗联合治疗。考虑到口腔及其周围结构的复杂解剖结构，影像学不仅在局部区域分期中而且在远处转移评估和治疗后随访中都起着不可或缺的作用。了解解剖结构和癌症常见的扩散途径，使放射科医生能够准确确定疾病的范围，并增强临床发现，以制定适当的治疗计划。本综述旨在简化相关影像学解剖知识，指导最佳影像学方法，并强调影响预后和治疗的关键影像学发现。
