Article Abstract
Background: Incidence of oral cancer have been increased aggressively in recent years, and many advanced surgical techniques have developed to facilitate the treatment of disease while preserving the patient's quality of life (QoL).
Subjects And Methods: The present study aims toward the evaluation of patient's satisfaction toward the current treatment procedure for oral cancer by assessing the QoL preoperatively and postoperatively. In the study period of four years, we had operated 150 patients with oral cancer (Stage III and IVa) by surgical excision and flap reconstruction, and QoL was assessed using the WHO-QoL BREF questionnaire.
Results: We found significant improvement after surgery in various aspects of QoL including the physical health, social health, psychological health and environmental health.
Conclusions: The present study is evidence of patient satisfaction toward the current treatment protocols of oral cancer. However, advanced surgical techniques that can enhance the rate of functional rehabilitation can have paramount importance in improving the patient's QoL.

Background: A modified pull-through approach represents a promising treatment strategy to access tumors in the posterior oral cavity. The design of the wedge osteotomy plays a key role in preserving postoperative mechanical stability while enabling surgical access. However, the optimal osteotomy design to reduce fracture risk remains unclear.

Purpose: For submandibular gland resection, conventional surgery with the naked eye remains the standard. With its excellent automatic focus and high magnification, the ORBEYE 3D exoscope enables precise submandibular gland resection with less stress. Therefore, we aimed to examine the usefulness of the exoscope in submandibular gland resection.

The global surge in the population of people 60 years and older, including that in China, challenges healthcare systems with rising age-related diseases. To address this demographic change, the Aging Biomarker Consortium (ABC) has launched the X-Age Project to develop a comprehensive aging evaluation system tailored to the Chinese population. Our goal is to identify robust biomarkers and construct composite aging clocks that capture biological age, defined as an individual's physiological and molecular state, across diverse Chinese cohorts.

Background: Docetaxel is the most common chemotherapy regimen for several neoplasms, including advanced OSCC (Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma). Unfortunately, chemoresistance leads to relapse and adverse disease outcomes.
Methods: We performed CRISPR-based kinome screening to identify potential players of Docetaxel resistance.
