New Auricle Issue Featuring Dylan Cooper and his article: Rates of Occult Invasive Disease in Patients With Biopsy-Proven Oral Cavity Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Situ. Check out https://t.co/WbaCtUaBeC for the full issue!
This study found 28% of biopsy-proven carcinoma in situ of the oral cavity lesions harbored occult invasive disease. Those who proceeded with surgical resection were more likely to have better survival outcomes. https://t.co/9Z9lKhVGpW
As early detection methods continue to improve, discussions are needed to standardize management guidelines for oral cavity dysplastic lesions

This study found that the risk of occult invasive SCCa in those with biopsy-proven oral cavity carcinoma in situ (CIS) is 28% in a cohort of over 1800 patients. This study supports early surgical management in CIS of the oral cavity. @JAMAOto

In isolation from other risk factors for local recurrence, select patients with low- to intermediate- grade parotid and submandibular gland cancers who have close surgical margins may be safely considered for observation. https://t.co/B9ukhcUXJz
