Virtual Tumor Mapping: A New Standard for Surgeon-Pathologist Collaboration in Treating Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Cancers (Basel) 2024; 16:3761. [PMID: 39594716 PMCID: PMC11591874 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16223761] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2024] [Revised: 11/02/2024] [Accepted: 11/05/2024] [Indexed: 11/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: The histopathological assessment is critical in the comprehensive treatment process for patients diagnosed with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). A detailed and precise specimen characterization is essential to facilitate effective surgeon-pathologist communication. Methods: In response to this need, a user-friendly virtual communication protocol utilizing a 3D scanner has been developed. This study involved 50 patients with OSCC, whose resected tumors were directly scanned in the operating room and subsequently annotated and characterized using available software. Results: The direct application of annotations and descriptions onto the virtual tumor specimens significantly enhanced the quantity and accuracy of information conveyed to the pathologist. Conclusions: The proposed solution's repeatability and standardized approach make integration into routine clinical practice feasible, thereby establishing a potential new standard in the field.
