    Abstract Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most common malignancy of the oropharynx (OP). Treatment of OP SCC includes chemotherapy, radiation, and/or surgery. OP SCC can spread via direct extension, lymphatics, or hematogenously. Although rare, distant metastases can occur in OP SCC. The most common sites of metastasis include the lungs, bone, and liver. Other less common sites include the skin, bone marrow, brain, kidneys, eyes, and heart. Patients who present with distant metastases usually have a poor prognosis. Sites of bone metastases from more common to less common include the spine, skull, ribs, and axial bones. In this article, we discuss a patient who presents with HPV+ base of tongue SCC with metastases to the lungs and mandible symphysis. Base of tongue SCC metastasizing to the mandible symphysis is a rarely reported location of metastasis.

    Abstract Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic impact of comorbidity and of demographic and pathological factors on oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) survival, and to compare the prognostic performance of a new clinicopathological model against the routinely used TNM staging.
    Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of demographic, clinical, and pathological information of 166 patients with oral tongue SCC. Cox regression was used for multivariate analysis, model building, and model discriminatory analysis.
    Results: Comorbidity had the most significant impact on overall survival (OS; log-rank test, chi-square  =  36.34; p  <  .0001). Comorbidity, tumor dimension >2 cm, and presence of extracapsular spread (ECS) or vascular invasion were independent predictors of survival. A clinicopathological model based on these 4 variables (chi-square  =  60.23; p  <  .0001) was better (c-statistic  =  0.736) at predicting survival compared to pathological TNM staging (c-statistic = 0.645).
    Conclusion: Comorbidity combined with tumor dimension, ECS, and vascular invasion provide a better prediction of oral tongue SCC survival than TNM staging alone.

    Abstract Objectives/hypothesis: To gather input regarding the presentation, content, and understanding of survival and support information for Prognostigram, a computer-based program that uses standard cancer registry data elements to present individualized survival estimates.
    Study design: Cross-sectional survey research.
    Methods: Two groups of patients (total n=40) and one group of physicians (n=5) were interviewed. The patient groups were interviewed to assess baseline patient numeracy and health literacy, and patient desire for prognostic information. The first group (n=20) was introduced to generalized survival curves in a paper booklet. The second group (n=20) was introduced to individualized survival curves from Prognostigram on the computer. Both patient groups were queried about the survival curves. The physicians were asked their opinions on sharing prognostic information with patients.
    Results: Numeracy assessments indicated that the patients are able to understand concepts and statistics presented by Prognostigram. According to the patient interviews, the Internet is the most frequent source for survival statistics. Of the 40 patient participants, 39 reported survival statistics as being somewhat or very useful to cancer patients. All five physicians believed survival statistics were useful to patients and physicians, and noted accurate and understandable survival statistics are fundamental to facilitate discussions with patients regarding prognosis and expectations.
    Conclusions: Formative research indicates that cancer patients and their families actively seek survival statistics on their own. All patients indicated strong interest in Prognostigram, which is a software tool designed to produce individualized survival statistics to oncologists and cancer patients in a user-friendly manner.
    Level of evidence: 4.
