Oral squamous cell carcinoma is one of the most frequent types of head and neck cancers in Japan. Although recent reports have shown positive results of non-surgical treatment for advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, including tongue cancer, no clear treatment strategies have been established for oral cancers, except for tongue cancer. To assess appropriate therapies, we conducted a retrospective chart review of 114 Japanese patients with oral cancers that were pathologically diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma, excluding tongue cancers. The overall and the disease specific 5-year survival rates were 53% and 61%, respectively. Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed a lower stage (I, II, or III) and non-surgical treatment as good and poor prognostic factors of oral squamous cell carcinoma, respectively, based on their hazard ratios of 0.17 (95% Cl 0.045-0.60, p = 0.0061) and 5.3 (95% Cl 2.7-11, p
