Surgical Resection is Justifiable for Oral T4b Squamous Cell Cancers With Masticator Space Invasion

H. Michael Baddour et al.

Summary: This study examined survival endpoints in patients with tumor (T)4b oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC) with pathologically proven masticator space invasion treated with primary surgery followed by adjuvant therapy. Patients who received adjuvant chemoradiation had improved overall survival, while older age and prolonged hospital stay were associated with worse overall survival.

Role of structures in the masticator space in selecting patients with resectable T4b oral cancer: findings from a survival analysis

A. Kumar et al.

Summary: In this retrospective study, the survival of 123 patients with oral squamous cell cancers involving the masticatory space was evaluated, with T4b oral cancer patients achieving comparable outcomes to T4a cancer patients after treatment with surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy.

Survival Impact of Surgical Resection in Locally Advanced T4b Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Abhishek Gangopadhyay et al.

Summary: The study aimed to explore the feasibility of radical resection and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in T4b OSCC patients and their impact on survival, indicating that proper patient selection for surgery or NACT could significantly improve survival rates. Nodal involvement was identified as the most significant poor prognostic factor.

Primary Surgical Treatment in Very Advanced (T4b) Oral Cavity Squamous Cell Carcinomas

Evan J. Patel et al.

Summary: A minority of T4b OCSCC patients undergo curative treatments, with some receiving primary surgical treatment associated with longer survival. Further studies on the heterogeneity of the T4b classification and potential revision might be justified.

Prognostic stratification of patients with AJCC 2018 pStage IVB oral cavity cancer: Should pT4b and pN3 disease be reclassified?

Chung-Jan Kang et al.

Summary: The clinical outcomes of patients with pT4a and pT4b OCSCC are similar, while those with pT3-4N3b disease have a less favorable 5-year prognosis. Therefore, it is recommended to continue classifying pT3-4N3b disease as pStage IVB, while pT4bN0-2 and pT1-2N3b diseases should be downstaged to pStage IVA.
