Analysis reveals male mortality risks in mucoepidermoid carcinoma of oral cavity glands differ by anatomy, suggesting stratified clinical approaches.
Prognosis of oral cavity minor salivary gland MEC is significantly modulated by anatomic-sex interactions. Males exhibited paradoxically reduced mortality risks in Palate_other and Other_oral subsites compared to females. Sex-specific anatomic clustering was observed: males predominantly clustered in the hard palate, whereas females showed predilection for the buccal mucosa/retromolar area and soft palate. A follow-up protocol stratified by anatomic subsites was proposed to optimize clinical surveillance.
