Patients presenting with HPV-positive OPSCC have better overall survival (OS) and prognosis. A significant proportion of these still have poor survival outcomes and identification of these patients remains a challenge. This study aims to investigate the predictive value of albumin, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), systemic immune inflammation index (SIII) for overall survival in OPSCC.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>Seven hundred and twenty-eight patients were extracted from the West of Scotland Cancer Network database and met inclusion criteria with available blood markers at diagnosis. ROC curve analysis was constructed with respect to age, albumin and systemic inflammatory markers to determine diagnostic cut-offs, which were used to stratify subsequent Kaplan-Meier analyses. Univariate and multivariate analysis was carried out with respect to all baseline characteristics.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Patients with lowered albumin, LMR and raised NLR, PLR and SIII presented with poorer OS over time as well as median survival times. HPV-negative patients presented with significantly poorer survival outcomes as compared to HPV-positive. Only albumin ≥35.5 g/L (HR = 0.683, 95 %CI 0.538–0.868) and NLR≥4.0 (HR = 1.416, 95 %CI 1.031–1.946) were found to be independent prognostic factors in patients with OPSCC.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>Serum albumin and NLR represent valuable predictors of survival in OPSCC regardless of HPV status. A universal, diagnostic NLR cut-off remains unknown. Systemic inflammatory markers may be a helpful adjunct when assessing patients during MDT.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":94378,"journal":{"name":"Oral Oncology Reports","volume":"15 ","pages":"Article 100755"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144471111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Positive or close surgical margins substantially increase the risk of locoregional failure, necessitating revision and adjuvant therapy that may adversely impact patients’ quality of life. Conventional intraoperative techniques of assessment of margins such as visual inspection, palpation, and selective frozen section analysis, have inherent limitations. These include subjectivity, sampling errors, and procedural delays. Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) is an innovative, non-contact, non-invasive optical imaging modality that enhances visualisation of the mucosal and submucosal microvasculature by employing filtered light at specific wavelengths. NBI enables more accurate delineation of tumour margins by accentuating vascular patterns associated with neoplastic transformation. This short correspondence discusses the fundamental principles, intraoperative applications, clinical advantages, and prospects of NBI as a valuable adjunct to conventional methods for margin assessment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":94378,"journal":{"name":"Oral Oncology Reports","volume":"15 ","pages":"Article 100760"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144888651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
