Abstract: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most common malignancies in the head and neck region. Although the diagnosis and treatment of OSCC have achieved significant improvement, the overall survival has shown little improvement in recent years. Clinical trials are encouraged to promote the diagnosis and treatment as well as update and optimize the clinical guidelines. Multidisciplinary team(MDT) is a model which has demonstrated its superiority in the treatment for intractable OSCC cases, gradually gaining wide adoption and promotion. This paper discussed the role of clinical research MDT in OSCC management.
