Survival Outcomes and Patterns of Failure in Maxillary Alveolus Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Abstract

Introduction Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the maxillary alveolus is a relatively rare disease. There is lack of data on this subsite as compared with other sites. The factors that affect survival in cases of maxillary alveolar SCC are tumor stage, local and cervical metastases, histological grading, and the margin status.
