Implication

Observational analysis found that depth of invasion predicts lymph node metastasis in oral cancers, suggesting its critical role in patient prognosis.

Key Points

Depth of invasion serves as the strongest histological predictor for metastatic tumor growth.
Lymph node metastasis occurs more frequently in patients with depth of invasion ≥ 5 mm.
The optimal cut-off value of depth of invasion for lymph node discrimination is established at 9.1 mm.
The study included 140 patients with suspected intra-oral squamous cell carcinoma to measure depth of invasion.
