背景：许多研究报道，肿瘤厚度（浸润深度）是口腔癌的一个有价值的预后因素，特别是作为颈部淋巴结转移的预测因子。术前对舌癌肿瘤厚度的准确评估，将为在原发肿瘤切除后选择颈部选择性治疗的患者提供有用的信息，目前尚无研究对舌癌术前肿瘤厚度进行测量。本研究是为了评估口腔内超声检查作为描述舌癌范围和测量舌癌厚度的工具的临床应用价值。材料与方法：对24例舌癌患者术前进行口内超声检查。将超声测量的肿瘤厚度与组织切片测量的肿瘤厚度进行比较。结果：获得高质量的超声图像，肿瘤厚度在1mm以内。两者有显著的相关性(P
BACKGROUND: A number of studies have reported that tumor thickness (the depth of invasion) is a valuable prognostic factor in oral cancers, especially as a predictor of cervical lymph node metastasis. Accurate preoperative assessment of the tumor thickness of tongue cancer would provide useful information for targeting those patients for whom elective treatment of the neck is appropriate when the primary tumor is resected, No studies have been done measuring the tumor thickness of tongue cancer preoperatively. The present study was undertaken in order to evaluate the clinical usefulness of intraoral ultrasonography as a tool to delineate tumor extent and measure the thickness of tongue carcinomas.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-four patients with tongue carcinoma were preoperatively evaluated with intraoral ultrasonography. The tumor thickness measured by ultrasonography was compared with the measurements by histological sections.RESULTS: High-quality ultrasonic images were obtained, and the tumor thicknesses were measurable within 1 mm. There was a significant correlation (P
