No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In gingivobuccal complex tumors, the skin margin is assessed by palpation (skin pinch test). There is no objective method of assessment of skin margin. This study is to evaluate the role of computed tomography/MRI with contrast in assessing the deep surgical margin.

Conditions

  • Buccal Mucosa Cancer
  • Gingival Cancer

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Clinical Evaluation

The skin pinch test would be done by three independent oncologists to assess ability for skin conservation. The decision for skin conservation would be taken by the surgeon intra-operatively based on clinical and radiological assessments.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Radiological Imaging

Computed Tomography or Magnetic Resonance Imaging would be done by a radiologist and used to measure the distance between tumor and skin which would guide the decision for skin presevation. The decision for skin conservation would be taken by the surgeon intra-operatively based on clinical and radiological assessments.
