{Abstract}: UNASSIGNED: To study the role of pattern of invasion, tumor budding and other clinicopathological parameters in determining the risk of nodal metastases and disease-free survival in oral squamous cell cancer patients.
UNASSIGNED: The data of 90 patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma who underwent surgery as their primary modality of treatment were retrospectively analysed. Predictive significance of clinicopathological parameters was assessed with Univariate analysis with Fisher exact test and unpaired t-test. The factors which were significant on Univariate analysis were then analysed with multivariate analysis using logistic regression model to find independent predictors. P value < 0.05 was considered significant. Disease free survival analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier method and comparison done using the log-rank test for each group.
UNASSIGNED: The age of the patients ranged from 22yrs to 72 years with male predominance (81.1%). The most common site of involvement was buccal mucosa. Significant factors predicting nodal metastases on univariate analysis were site (p = 0.031), grade (p = 0.012), T stage (p = < 0.001), Depth of invasion (p = < 0.001), perineural invasion (p = < 0.001), lymphovascular emboli (p = 0.018), tumor budding (p = < 0.001), pattern of invasion (p = < 0.001) and stroma (p = 0.037). On multivariate analysis tumor budding (p = 0.016), depth of invasion (p = 0.016) and perineural invasion (p = 0.044) were predictive of nodal metastasis. A statistically significant difference in 3year disease free survival was seen in infiltrative pattern of invasion and tumor budding which showed a p-value of 0.0372 and 0.0489 respectively.
UNASSIGNED: Based on the findings of the present study and review of previous articles tumor budding, worst pattern of invasion, host lymphocyte response should also be included in routine histopathology reporting of OSCC.
