Morphometric analysis of data inherent in examination by magnetic resonance imaging: importance to natural history, prognosis and disease staging of squamous carcinoma of the oral cavity
- Abstract:
-
Magnetic resonance imaging plays an important yet underutilized role in determining the natural history and prognosis of oral carcinoma.
Depth of tumour invasion is an emergent factor in the oral cancer literature. However, problems exist with the definition of cut-points suitable for inclusion in TNM staging criteria.
