Background: Carcinoma of the oral cavity is classified according to the TNM staging system of the UICC The staging system is under continuous revision The aim of our study was to assess the prognostic value of the UICC sixth edition for oral cancer, which was established in 2003Methods: Three-hundred treatment-naive patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) of stages I-IVb were reviewed retrospectively Patients with stage-I disease were treated solely surgically, and patients with stage II-IVb received a multi modal treatment Overall survival was plotted by Kaplan-Meier analysis Prognostic factors were identified through univariate and multivariate analysisResults: Univariate analysis showed a significant impact of T stage (P = 0 009), N stage (P < 0 001). and UICC stage (P
