Abstract
Objective: To elucidate the prognostic implications of mucosal and deep margin distances in oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC), and to assess a different margin cut-off value in T1-T2 versus T3-T4 tumors.
Methods: This single-center retrospective study included 223 patients who received surgery for a primary OTSCC between January 2017 and December 2021.
Results: Multivariable analysis showed that deep margin distance ≥3 mm in T1-T2 tumors and ≥5 mm in T3-T4 tumors was significantly associated with better RFS and OS. Mucosal and deep margin distances were globally clinically useful for 2-year RFS prediction of T1-T2 tumors, for which deep margins seemed to have more clinical utility than mucosal margins. The influence of margin distances on 2-year RFS seemed greater for T1-T2 tumors than T3-T4 tumors.
Conclusion: Mucosal and deep margin distances were associated with OS and RFS in OTSCC. Shorter deep margin distances may be aimed for in T1-T2 versus T3-T4 tumors.
