Treatment package time in high-risk oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma: Where are we failing and at what cost?
Our institution cohort of high risk OCSSC treated with surgery followed by adjuvant CRT had a prolonged TPT (median 109 days). Within our cohort, a TPT > 104 days was found to have a worse OS and DFS, with a nonsignificant impact on locoregional or distant disease-free survival. This highlights the need to optimize the multimodal cancer care pathway.
