Oral Cavity Cancer Excision

Excision guidelines for buccal, tongue, and floor-of-mouth malignancies, verifying negative histological borders prior to flap closure.

CLINICAL ONCOLOGY PORTAL

Surgical Clearance Protocol

This protocol details the clinical parameters, resection boundaries, and anatomical checkpoints managed during the procedure. The priority is achieving R0 (microscopically negative) margins while preserving surrounding neural and vascular structures.

Procedural Stages

Pre-operative MRI staging to determine local infiltration limits.
Wide local excision maintaining a minimum 1.0 cm clinical clearance margin.
Intraoperative frozen section verification of mucosal and deep margins.
Neck dissection (levels I-III or comprehensive) based on staging guidelines.
