ARRIAGADA C, OSCAR et al. Oral squamous cell carcinoma, retrospective analysis of 36 cases. Rev Chil Cir [online]. 2010, vol.62, n.5, pp.441-448. ISSN 0718-4026.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-40262010000500003.

Background: Survival of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma is low and depends mostly on TNM staging of the tumor. Aim: To perform a retrospective analysis of a series of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma. Material and Methods: Retrospective review of patients with the diagnosis, seen between 1995 and 2006 in a regional hospital. Host inflammatory response and pattern of tumor invasion were assessed using the staging proposed by Bryne et al. Results: The medical records of 36 patients aged 39 to 89 years, were reviewed. During the study period, 15 patients died. Better survival was associated to a low pattern of tumor invasion and a high inflammatory response and the topographic location of the tumor. Conclusions: Inflammatory response, tumor invasion and location are associated with survival in oral squamous cell carcinoma.
