Locally Advanced oral Squamous cell Carcinomas: Auditing and Outcome Appraisal.
Indian Journal of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery 2024 Februrary
UNLABELLED: Introduction: Patients with OSCC in India (oral squamous cell carcinoma) presents at a later stage with approximately 28% presenting at stage III and 64% at stage IV disease. In this retrospective study we have reviewed the treatment modalities rendered and outcomes associated for the management of locally advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma in our Institute. We evaluated the survival data and the factors effecting survival. Methods: Kaplan Meir method was used to evaluate OS and DFS rate and log rank test was used to compare the survival amongst groups. Cox regression analysis (univariate and multivariate) was used to evaluate the hazard ratio to find out the possible factors influencing risk of death and disease. Results: The median OS and DFS in our study were 32 and 24 months respectively. On a subset analysis of only T4b patients who underwent either upfront surgery or induction chemotherapy followed by surgery there was no significant difference in OS and DFS. All patients with TURD had partial response after induction chemotherapy and were subjected to surgical resection followed by adjuvant therapy. Conclusion: Extracapsular spread, bone involvement, skin infiltration, treatments, surgical margins and Lymph node size are the prime predictors of survival.Upfront surgery remains the standard of care for resectable LAOSCC. Induction chemotherapy might improve the resectability in technically unresectable OSCC. There is no difference in survival between concurrent chemoradiation, sequential chemoradiation and radical radiotherapy in the management of unresectable disease.
