Objective: To investigate the method for reconstruction of large tissue defects following surgical resection of advanced oral cancer using pectoralis major myocutaneous flap.
Methods: From 2005 to 2009, 40 patients with advanced oral cancer received extensive surgical resection of oral cancer, and the intraoral defects were reconstructed using pectoralis major myocutaneous flaps.
Results: All the flaps survived except one flap with partial necrosis.
Conclusion: Pectoralis major myocutaneous flap is effective for reconstruction of large tissue defects after resection of advanced oral cancer.

Accurate diagnosis of oral lesions, early indicators of oral cancer, is a complex clinical challenge. Recent advances in deep learning have demonstrated potential in supporting clinical decisions. This paper introduces a deep learning model for classifying oral lesions, focusing on accuracy, interpretability, and reducing dataset bias.

Background: Infantile fibrosarcoma (IFS) is a rare pediatric tumor of intermediate malignancy with high local aggressiveness that typically presents in young infants. Its occurrence in the head and neck region is rare. Complete non-mutilating surgical resection is often not possible, requiring multimodal treatment.

Background: There is a lack of prognosticators of overall survival (OS) for Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC).
Objectives: We examined collaborative machine learning (cML) in estimating the OS of OSCC patients. The prognostic significance of the clinicopathological parameters was examined.

Objectives: This study aimed to explore differences in demographics, tumour characteristics and outcomes in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients with a history of non-smoking, non-drinking (NSND) versus smoking and/or drinking (SD).
Materials And Methods: Newly diagnosed OSCC patients undergoing curative surgical treatment were prospectively included in OncoLifeS, a data biobank. Cox regression analysis was performed yielding hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs).
