Retrospective analysis reveals high recurrence and mortality rates in young patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma, highlighting critical risk factors.
Key Points
Most patients presented with advanced tumors, contributing to elevated recurrence rates and negative outcomes.
The average age of diagnosis was 39 years, predominantly affecting males, with significant risk factors present in 41.6% of cases.
Surgery combined with radiation and chemotherapy was employed in 41.7% of cases, yet high mortality was observed among participants.
Clinical staging indicated that 75% of cases were in stages III and IV, linking this to poor prognosis and high mortality rates.
