Most carcinomas of upper gingiva and hard palate are classified as T4 stage on the basis of the UICC criteria, since they easily invade the underlying bone tissue. We classified 43 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the upper gingiva in terms of three criteria: (1) the original T-classification by UICC, (2) the classification by the Japan Society for Head and Neck Cancer (JSHNC), and (3) a new classification in which the maxillary sinus or nasal floor is used as the defining borderline for T4 (MSF classification). Our study demonstrated that the new classification was superior with regard to distribution of patients by T stage, correlation with prognosis and choice of treatment method.
