Marginal Resection for the Mandible Management of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

To evaluate the effect of mandibular marginal resection for oral squamous cell carcinomaA retrospective study on 248 consecutive cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma was carried outAll cases were treated with mandibular resection,including 82 marginal resection and 166 segmental resectionA comparision on local recurrence rate and 5year survival rate was madeThe local recurrence rate for marginal and segmental group was 156% and 163% respectivelyFive years survival rates were 522% and 557% respectively[Conclusion]Marginal resection is an effective mandible management for oral squamous cell carcinomas with no or minimal mandible invasion
