Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate factors predicting response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in locally advanced oral cavity cancerTimepoint: After completion of planned neoadjuvant chemotherapy at the time of response assessment prior to surgery approximately 6 weeks from baseline depending on chemotherapy cycles

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1 To correlate clinicodemographic variables with response to NACT. 2 To assess the role of tumour-related factors (tumour size depth of invasion nodal status) in predicting response 3. To analyze radiological response parameters, including tumour volume reduction & metabolic response where available 4 To correlate histopathological features with response to NACT 5 To assess the impact of response to NACT on a Resectability b Margin status c Pathological nodal burdenTimepoint: Postoperative histopathological evaluation within 4 weeks after surgery
