Abstract: Radical resection isthe key for treatment of oral cancer. Depth of invasion, tumour budding and the tumour microenvironment define the biological characteristics of cells in tumor invasive front, thereby determining invasion and metastasis capabilities. Compartmental resection is an important method for oral cancer treatment. Through analysis and review of the cutting-edge research on tumor invasive front, this paper sheds light on optimal radical resection for oral cancer.

Key words: oral cancer, tumor invasive front, depth of invasion, compartmental resection
