Abstract
To examine the benefit of restaging recurrent oral squamous cell carcinoma (R-OSCC) and the effect on salvage surgery. An analysis was performed on 30 patients with local only first failure (n = 13) or loca-regional only first failure (n = 9) or first recurrence in the neck (n = 8) after surgery and/or radiation treatment given for oral squamous cell carcinoma. All the 30 patients were restaged and treated with salvage surgery. The overall survival time and disease-free survival time of patients with early staged R-OSCC was longer than that of patients with advanced staged R-OSCC. The 1-year survival and 1-year disease-free survival rates for early staged R-OSCC is also higher than that of advanced staged R-OSCC. The re-stage of the recurrent tumor is significantly correlated with survival. The salvage surgery is an effective measure in patients with recurrent oral squamous cell carcinoma, especially in early staged patients of R-OSCC.
