Background: The Union for International Cancer Control and American Joint Committee on Cancer tumor staging system is used globally for treatment planning. As it may be insufficient for tumor staging of lower gingival carcinomas, we proposed the mandibular canal tumor staging system. In this study, we aimed to compare the two systems for such tumor staging and to identify prognostic markers.

- The 8th edition of the cancer staging system incorporates depth of invasion (DOI) and extranodal extension (ENE) for assessing oral cavity cancer, enhancing its prognostic accuracy compared to the 7th edition.
- A review of 2,118 patients showed that the new system allowed for a significant number of cases to be upstaged, leading to better differentiation and understanding of the disease's progression.
- Overall, the updated staging system improved survival prediction and highlighted patients at higher risk of mortality, making it a more effective tool for clinicians.
Background: The purpose of this retrospective study was to investigate the prognosis of patients with oral cavity cancer with positive margin (PM) or close margin (CM) divided into pN- and pN+ groups.
Methods: The evaluated endpoints were local control and disease-specific survival (DSS) rates.
Results: Higher T classification, lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI), and older age were significant risk factors for DSS in the pN- groups.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between pretreatment BMI and outcomes in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma, highlighting that underweight individuals have significantly higher cause-specific mortality.
- The analysis involved 2,023 East Asian patients, revealing a 25.7% 5-year mortality rate for underweight patients compared to 12.7% for those with normal weight.
- Underweight patients faced a 51% increased risk of mortality and a 55% higher risk of regional metastasis, emphasizing the importance of BMI as a risk factor in this cancer type.
To improve the dairy sector in Cambodia in the future, we aimed to reveal the genetic variation and the milk production in Cambodian crossbred dairy cattle. We calculated the percent (%) milk fat content and the average milk yield per cow (L/day) for two farms (Farm R and M) based on the farmers' records and interviews. The crossbred cows originated from Cambodian local farmers and Thailand breeders in Farm R, whereas the crossbred cows originated in Thailand breeders in Farm M.
