BACKGROUND: The depth of invasion (DOI) of tongue squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is an important prognostic factor. The definition is clear for pathological DOI (pDOI), but the treatment strategy is determined by the preoperative clinical DOI (cDOI). Few studies have investigated the difference between these DOIs. The purpose of this study was to obtain the correlation equation between cDOI and pDOI for Stage I/II tongue SCC and to consider the points to be noted in actual clinical practice.
METHODS: In this retrospective study, 58 patients with clinical stage I/II tongue SCC were included. Correlations between cDOI and pDOI were obtained for all 58 cases, as well as for 39 cases which excluded superficial and exophytic lesions.
RESULTS: The overall cDOI and pDOI median values were 8.0 and 5.5 mm, respectively; the 2.5 mm reduction was significant (p < 0.01). The correlation equation was pDOI = 0.81 × cDOI-0.23 (r = 0.73). Furthermore, re-analysis of the 39 cases revealed that pDOI = 0.84 × cDOI-0.37 (r = 0.62). Hence, a derived equation pDOI = 0.84 × (cDOI-0.44) was obtained to predict pDOI from cDOI.
CONCLUSIONS: This study indicated that it is necessary to consider contraction due to specimen fixation by subtracting the thickness of the mucosal epithelium. Clinical T1 cases with a cDOI of 5 mm or less had a pDOI of 4 mm or less, and it would be expected to have low positive rate of neck lymph node metastasis.
