Abstract
In the treatment of oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC), surgical quality measures which are expected to affect outcomes, including the achievement of a clear margin, are surgeon-dependent but might not be invariably associated with hospital volume. Our objective was to explore surgical margin variations and survival differences of OCSCC between two highest-volume hospitals in Taiwan.
