BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The presence of cervical lymph node metastases is an
important prognostic factor for oral tongue cancer. The accurate preoperative assessment is …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Several studies indicated that tumor thickness or tumor
volume might be helpful predictors for the prognosis of oral tongue squamous cell …

Objectives To establish an accurate and reproducible means of measuring tumor thickness
as a preoperative prognostic factor for cervical metastasis in oral tongue carcinoma. Study …

In oral tongue cancer, tumor depth is crucial for cervical lymph node metastasis. There is no
standardized method to predict tumor invasion or deciding who should undergo selective …

Objectives To assess the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in predicting tumour's depth of
invasion (DOI) of tongue cancer by comparing to pathology and to determine the cut‐off …

Objectives We evaluated the relationships between depth of invasion (DOI) of tongue
cancer, as measured with preoperative T1-and T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging …

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of MRI for measuring
invasion depth in oral/oropharyngeal carcinoma. We retrospectively reviewed pathologic …

Several studies have shown that the thickness of tongue carcinoma is related to prognosis
and to the likelihood of cervical node metastases. We investigated whether preoperative …

Objectives This study compared the consistency of depth of invasion (DOI) measurements
by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and intraoperative and postoperative pathological …

Rationale and Objective To evaluate the inter-rater reliability of the magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI)-derived depth of invasion (DOI) and the agreement between MRI and …
