Key Points

This research aims to address the historical challenges in diagnosing oral squamous cell carcinoma and improving survival rates through early detection.
Analyzed survival rates of oral squamous cell carcinoma over forty years.
Investigated various diagnostic methods including imaging and biopsy.
Emphasized the importance of a multidisciplinary tumor board for treatment decisions.
Identified 50% overall survival rate for OSCC over the last four decades.
Delayed diagnosis contributes significantly to high mortality, with advanced-stage disease linked to higher tumor burden.
Stressed that cervical lymph node status serves as a critical prognostic factor, impacting treatment approaches.
