[Relation of the histological picture of biopsy material and prognosis in cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity].

Biopsy specimens from 42 oral cancer cases were graded by a histological scoring system which was initiated by Bryne et al. This system was based on both the features of the tumor cells and the relationship between tumor cells and connective tissue. The results suggested significant correlation between the histological score values and the survival, the occurrence of recidive tumors and metastatic tumors.
