Clinicopathological Profile & Correlation of Tumor Size with Nodal Status in Oral Cavity Cancers: An AHRCC Experience
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinomas are the most common cancers in India and the sixth most common worldwide. Oral Cavity cancers are most predominant malignancies in Head and Neck Cancers. Tumor size and extent of invasion is an important risk factor for nodal metastases, local recurrence and survival. The clinicopathological profile and correlation between the tumor size and nodal metastases in 235 patients of oral cavity cancers attending AH Regional Cancer Centre from January 2016 to January 2017 was analysed. All 235 patients were histopthologically proven squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity. The data base included age, sex, addictions, site, type of surgery and histopathogical details. The data of the primary tumor included size, differentiation, grade, depth of invasion, perineural and lymphovascular invasion.For the neck, the data included presence of metastases, size and number of involved nodes and extracapsular extension. A significant correlation between T stage and N stage was observed in the study. The primary tumor size is important in deciding management of the neck and volumetric assessment of tumor size along with thickness will help us to better define the nodal spread
