Spindle cell carcinoma is a rare aggressive biphasic tumor, composed of neoplastic proliferation of both epithelial (squamous) and spindle cell population. It constitutes about 1% of all oral cavity tumors 2a and is almost rare on the tongue; only few cases have been reported so far. This variant of squamous cell carcinoma, comprises major diagnostic problems due to its varied histomorphology and resemblance to sarcomatous lesion; hence diligent screening and IHC markers are mandatory for its diagnosis.

Relevance. Prognostic value of PD-L1 expression in oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC) and its effect on survival is still controversial. It should be to determine the prognostic role of PD-L1 expression on tumor and immune cells of OCSCC and assess their effect on overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS).Materials and methods. A prospective study included 145 patients, first diagnosed with OCSCC. PD-L1 expression on tumor and immune cells, infiltrating tumor and its microenvironment, was assessed in all tumor samples by IHC, CPS was calculated. Cut-off values were determined by ROC analysis for identification of PD-L1 expression effect on OS and PFS.Results. Most patients with oral mucosa squamous cell carcinoma showed positive expression of PD-L1 on tumor (77.2%) and immune cells (92.4%). The median PD-L1 expression on tumor cells was 13.5% [1.0-40.0], the median PD-L1 expression on immune cells was 5.0% [1.0-11.0], and the median CPS – 18.0 [3.0-7.8]. Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed a significant negative effect of PD-L1 expression on immune cells ≤ 7% on OS (HR 0.66; 95% CI 0.45-0.93; p = 0.0498); PD-L1 expression in tumor cells ≤ 15% (HR 0.65; 95% CI 0.43-0.98; p = 0.0416) and CPS ≤ 21 (HR 0.62; 95% CI 0.44-0.92; p = 0.0183) for PFS. PD-L1 expression in tumor cells ≤ 6% (HR 0.71; 95% CI 0.47-1.08; p = 0.1096) and CPS ≤ 7 (RR 0.67; 95% CI 0.44-1.01; p = 0.0575) had a confident tendency to negative impact on OS.Conclusion. Positive PD-L1 expression in tumor and immune cells as well as CPS are effective additional factors in the prognosis of the disease course, OS and PFS in patients with OCSCC.

Background: The objective of surgical management of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is adequate resection with a clear margin. However, there is still a debate as to the optimal length for a mandibular resected margin. Objective: To examine the length of peri-neural spreading in T4 mandibular invaded oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma. Materials and Methods: Twenty-eight T4 pathological OSCC specimens that involved mandible and serial slices were studied and the length of tumor spreading along the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) was determined. Tumor characteristics, risk factors, and survival were analyzed. Results: The incidence of peri-neural invasion was 11.11%, and IAN invasion was found in 14.29% of the tumor-invaded mandibular marrow. The length of tumor spreading along IAN was 3 to 12 mm. Poor prognostic factors of T4 OSCC were it being located on the tongue (HR 14.16), was pathological N2-3 (HR 31.05), and had high-risk features such as peri-neural invasion, lymphovascular invasion, and extra-nodal extension. Conclusion: A mandibular resected margin of at least 18 mm is recommended as a clear surgical margin in cases of T4 mandibular invasion OSCC.

Research Model

Squamous cell carcinoma of oral cavity (OCSCC) accounts for approximately 25% of cases of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Tobacco and alcohol consumption are the main risk factors for both cancers. Surgical resection, combined with adjuvant radiotherapy or radiochemotherapy in patients with high risk of relapse, is the key element in management in the initial stages. However, despite the availability of aggressive multidisciplinary treatments, advanced resectable OCSCC carries poor prognosis; only half of the patients are disease-free 5 years after the surgery. Immunotherapy based on the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors has been proven to be effective in a wide variety of tumours, including recurrent and metastatic HNSCC. These positive results resulted in investigations into its effectiveness in earlier stages of the disease with OCSCC emerging as an interesting research model because of the accessible location of the tumours. This article reviews the potential advantages of emerging immunotherapeutic agents [mainly monoclonal antibodies against programmed cell death-1 ( PD-1) immune checkpoint inhibitors] as neoadjuvant treatment for OCSCC at locoregional stages as well as the ongoing clinical trials, challenges in evaluating tumour response, and possible predictive biomarkers of response with highlights regarding the role of oral microbiota as modulators of immune response. The efficacy and safety of anti- PD-1 drugs in these patients have been proven in preliminary trials. If there is a decrease in the relapse rate and an improvement in the overall survival after surgical resection in ongoing trials, preoperative immunotherapy may be established as a treatment option for patients with early stages of the disease.
