Changes in the management and survival rates of patients with oral cancer: a 30-year single-institution study.

Published in: Journal of the Korean Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (2016)

In order to increase the 5-year survival rate of oral carcinoma, it may be necessary to improve public education and social efforts relevant to early diagnosis.
