Comparison between magnetic resonance and computed tomography in detecting mandibular invasion in oral cancer: A systematic review and diagnostic meta-analysis

Oral cavity cancer is characterized as an aggressive tumor with a high rate of locoregional spread and initial presentation at advanced stage in the majority of cases, particularly in developing countries [1,2]. Mandibular erosion, extension to posterior soft tissue and perineural invasion have an impact on treatment and prognosis in oral cancer. Information from imaging helps with accurate staging, assessment of resectability and aids in planning multimodal treatment [3].
