Abstract:
The staging of oral cavity tumours as with all other malignancy subsites is undergoing a revision in the line with the updated American Joint Committee on Cancer guidelines. Of note, the new guidelines incorporate more emphasis on clinical and histopathological data. The aim of the new guidelines is to increase prognostic concordance between stage and survival. This article aims to review the multimodality approach to imaging of oral cavity malignancy. In addition, it will also review the multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and management of these tumours as multiple specialities are crucial for effective treatment.
