The relationship between the worst pattern of invasion (WPOI) and the prognosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remains controversial. This systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to determine the impact of the WPOI on the prognosis of OSCC.
Studies from six databases were assessed for quality using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, and data were analyzed using Stata software.
Eighteen studies involving 3954 patients showed that patients with a WPOI of 4 to 5 had significantly worse overall survival, disease-specific survival, and disease-free survival than patients with a WPOI of 1 to 3. Significant associations of the WPOI with locoregional recurrence and mortality were found.
A higher WPOI was significantly associated with a worse prognosis of OSCC across various outcomes. Incorporating the WPOI into standard histopathological assessments may guide personalized treatments and improve outcomes.
侵袭最恶劣模式(WPOI)与口腔鳞状细胞癌(OSCC)预后之间的关系仍存在争议。本系统评价和荟萃分析旨在确定 WPOI 对 OSCC 预后的影响。
使用纽卡斯尔-渥太华量表评估来自六个数据库的研究质量,并使用 Stata 软件进行数据分析。
八项研究涉及 3954 名患者,结果表明 WPOI 为 4 至 5 的患者的总生存率、疾病特异性生存率和无病生存率明显低于 WPOI 为 1 至 3 的患者。WPOI 与局部区域复发和死亡率显著相关。
较高的 WPOI 与各种结局的 OSCC 预后不良显著相关。将 WPOI 纳入标准组织病理学评估可能有助于指导个体化治疗并改善预后。
