Abstract

IMPORTANCE: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a lethal malignant neoplasm with a high rate of tumor metastasis and recurrence. Accurate diagnosis, prognosis prediction, and metastasis detection can improve patient outcomes. Deep learning for clinical image analysis can be used for diagnosis and prognosis in cancers, including oral SCC; its use in these areas can improve patient care and outcome.
