Article Synopsis
- - The Ministry of Health and Welfare in Taiwan highlights oral cancer as a significant health issue, being the third most common cancer and a leading cause of death in men, particularly with low survival rates in cases of lymph node metastasis.
- - A study analyzed 612 oral cancer patients who chewed betel nuts, focusing on tumor thickness, lymph node density, and metastasis distribution to find better survival predictors.
- - Findings showed that a tumor thickness over 6 mm and lymph node density greater than 0.04 were critical predictors of poor survival, suggesting these factors, along with TNM staging, should guide treatment decisions.
