Article Synopsis
- The study investigates squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) affecting the maxillary gingiva, alveolus, and hard palate, focusing on the effectiveness of selective neck dissection in early-stage clinically N0 patients.
- It included 29 untreated patients who underwent tumorectomy and selective neck dissection, revealing that 34.4% had nodal involvement post-surgery, which negatively affected overall survival.
- The findings suggest that SCC in these areas exhibits aggressive behavior similar to other oral cancers, indicating a need for more intensive treatment to enhance survival rates and locoregional control.
