Cover Story: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a life-threatening disease for which primary surgical treatment currently has the best curative results. Incomplete tumor removal is a strong negative prognostic factor, and therefore new ways to ensure complete tumor removal are being investigated. We test our hypothesis that the use of autofluorescence could increase the success of surgical treatment in OSCC in a group of 122 patients enrolled in our study after meeting the inclusion criteria. The histopathological results after surgical treatment, i.e., the margin status, were then compared. This study demonstrated that preoperative autofluorescence assessment of the mucosal surroundings of OSCC increased the ability to achieve tumor free margin resection by 4.8 times in terms of lateral margins.
