Abstract
Most of the twelve included studies focused on T1-2 tongue cancer (n = 129). Meta-analysis showed a high correlation in tumor thickness within this subgroup as measured by intraoral US and histopathology (r = 0.82, p < .001), with minor overestimation of 0.5 mm on US. It is concluded that intraoral US is very accurate in determining tumor thickness in early oral tongue cancer.
