The evaluation of surveillance imaging of OSCC patients is a difficult task physicians have to face daily. Multiple patients experience a recurrence of this disease, which underlines the importance of regular patient monitoring programs. Our study analysed the value of surveillance imaging, such as computed tomography (CT) and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (NMRI), as a patient monitoring programme and its effectiveness in achieving improvement in early recurrence detection.

There is no regimen commonly agreed on. This study provides an easy to use anticoagulative regimen.

However, severe disease progression may require an incision under general anesthesia (GA) with postoperative inpatient treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the first "COVID-19 year" in Germany and compare the first "COVID-19 year" with the two previous years.

- The study investigates the outcomes of two surgical methods (marginal vs. segmental resections) for treating oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC) near the mandible, focusing on local and lymph node recurrences.
- A total of 180 patients were analyzed, revealing similar local recurrence rates (around 28%) for both methods, but higher lymph node recurrences for marginal resections (9.4% vs. 6.2%).
- The findings suggest that tumor location affects recurrence rates, highlighting the need for thorough surgical removal of soft tissue and the importance of continued monitoring post-surgery for potential recurrences.
