Examining the Impact of Race and Sex on the Incidence of Positive Surgical Margins in Oral Cavity Squamous Cell Carcinoma
The findings of this study suggest that black males of any age, black males under 45, and Indigenous American and native Alaskan males under 45 have a higher incidence of PSMs, independent of clinicopathologic factors and SDOH. Our findings may help inform clinicians and hospitals of lapses in our healthcare system that perpetuate these inequities and further the goal of tackling disparities in surgical care.
