Multicenter StudyPredictors of early progression after curative resection followed by platinum-based adjuvant chemoradiotherapy in oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma.
Early progression, defined as a disease-free interval (DFI) of less than 6 months after completion of adjuvant platinum-based chemoradiotherapy (CRT), leads to poor outcomes in locally advanced oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC). However, appropriate biomarkers for predicting early progression remain unknown. ⋯ The established scoring system effectively predicted early progression after adjuvant CRT for locally advanced OCSCC.
