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