: The present scoping review aims to explore and provide an overview of the current applications of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in the management of oral cancer. : This study was conducted in accordance with the JBI Guidance for Scoping Reviews and reported following the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). A systematic search was performed across the following databases: PubMed, OVID, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library to answer the research question: "What are the current applications of CBCT in the perioperative management of patients with oral cancer?". : A total of 52 studies met the inclusion criteria. Four major areas of CBCT application in oral cancer were identified: radiotherapy planning and monitoring (25 studies), assessment of bone invasion (16 studies), intraoperative surgical guidance (6 studies), and evaluation of treatment-related complications (5 studies). These findings highlight the diverse but focused use of CBCT across different stages of oral cancer management. : CBCT is increasingly utilized in the perioperative management of oral cancer, with its application in radiotherapy planning and assessment being the most well-established. However, other uses, such as for surgical navigation and complication assessment, are still emerging, with promising evidence. Further research is needed to expand and validate these applications.
本综述旨在探讨并概述锥形束计算机断层扫描（CBCT）在口腔癌管理中的当前应用。本研究遵循JBI综述指南进行，并按照系统综述扩展版（PRISMA-ScR）进行报告。通过在以下数据库进行系统检索：PubMed、OVID、Scopus、科学网和Cochrane图书馆，以回答研究问题：“CBCT在口腔癌患者围手术期管理中的当前应用有哪些？”。共有52项研究符合纳入标准。确定了CBCT在口腔癌中的四个主要应用领域：放射治疗计划与监测（25项研究）、骨侵犯评估（16项研究）、术中手术指导（6项研究）以及治疗相关并发症评估（5项研究）。这些发现凸显了CBCT在口腔癌管理不同阶段的多样但有重点的应用。CBCT在口腔癌围手术期管理中的应用日益增多，其在放射治疗计划与评估中的应用最为成熟。然而，其他用途，如手术导航和并发症评估，仍在不断涌现，且有很有前景的证据。需要进一步研究以扩展和验证这些应用。
