The impact of additional soft tissue resection on recurrence of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remains controversial. The study aim was to compare recurrence between patients with secondary tumor-free resection margins after intraoperative additional resection (STF-RM) and patients with primary tumor-free resection margins without additional resection (PTF-RM).
Forty-five patients with STF-RM were matched with patients with PTF-RM according to Union for International Cancer Control stage, tumor location, and treatment modality and compared for local, regional, and distant recurrence.
Patients with STF-RM showed lower local and distant control rates compared to patients with PTF-RM (66.2% vs. 82.8%; p = 0.045 and 86.3% vs. 100.0%; p = 0.021). STF-RM was the only predictor of local recurrence accounting for tumor (T) status, nodal (N) status, tumor grade, margin distance, and extracapsular extension (hazard ratio 4.21 [95% confidence interval 1.26-14.04]; p = 0.019).
STF-RM have an adverse impact on local and distant recurrence of OSCC.
术中额外切除后获得的无肿瘤切缘(STF-RM)对口腔鳞状细胞癌(OSCC)复发的影响仍存在争议。本研究旨在比较接受术中额外切除的患者(STF-RM)与未接受额外切除的患者(PTF-RM)的无肿瘤切缘复发率。
根据国际抗癌联盟分期、肿瘤位置和治疗方式,将 45 例 STF-RM 患者与 PTF-RM 患者进行匹配,并比较局部、区域和远处复发情况。
与 PTF-RM 患者相比,STF-RM 患者的局部和远处控制率较低(66.2% vs. 82.8%;p=0.045 和 86.3% vs. 100.0%;p=0.021)。STF-RM 是局部复发的唯一预测因素,可预测肿瘤(T)分期、淋巴结(N)分期、肿瘤分级、切缘距离和囊外扩展(风险比 4.21 [95%置信区间 1.26-14.04];p=0.019)。
STF-RM 对 OSCC 的局部和远处复发有不利影响。
