Objective:To detect and analyze the clinical risk factors about short-term recurrence of oral squamous cell carcinoma.Methods:A retrospectively comparative research on a total 106 patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma who were divided into two groups according to short-term recurrence and no short-term recurrence

was carried out.All patients had been followed up for one year.The main parameters such as sex

age

tumor region

clinical and pathologic character

TNM stage

surgical management

lymph node metastasis were analyzed statistically

and the results were analyzed by x 2 analysis.Results:①The short-term recurrence rate of oral squamous cell carcinoma was 18.87%.②Age (below 40 year-old)

surgical management and neck lymph node metastasis were clinical risk factors related to short-term recurrence of oral squamous cell carcinoma except tumor region

clinical and pathologic character and TNM stage.There was significant difference between two groups( P <0.05).Conclusion:The short-term recurrence rate of oral squamous cell carcinoma is high

and is closely related to age

surgical management and neck lymph node metastasis.Surgical management including continuously radical neck dissection should be applied to this kind of patients

especially younger ones who suffer from oral squamous cell carcinoma.Moreover

the follow-up is of great importance.
