  Early Oral SCC
  Intraoperative Margin Assessment
  The surgical method of margin sampling affects local control, pathologists’ approach to margin sampling, and clarity of pathology reports.
  Studies have shown that exclusive reliance on tumor bed margins is associated with worse local control and should be avoided.
  En bloc resections and margins obtained from the resection specimen remain the “gold standard.”
  Successful surgical treatment of early carcinomas of the oral cavity relies on close (...)
