Cui M, et al. - In patients with oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), researchers conducted this retrospective case series to investigate the prognostic value of a family cancer history for anticipating survival. A total of 124 individuals were enlisted as participants with a family cancer history. Data reported that the 5-year disease-specific survival (DSS) rate was 51%. The 5-year DSS rate was 40% in the matched group. The 5-year DSS rate was 43% in smoking patients with a family history. The 5-year DSS rate was 51% in nonsmoking patients with a history of cancer. In surgically treated oral tongue SCC patients, a family cancer history was related to improved DSS.
