Join the YOOC-Study: Young-Onset Oral Cavity
Oral cavity cancer is rising among young adults without classic risk factors, and their tumours seem to recur more often than in older patients. Yet current evidence is mostly single-centre and underpowered.
The Y-CEORL invites all CEORL centres to join the YOOC-Study, a multinational comparison of survival and recurrence between patients aged ≤40 and stage-matched older patients.
Each centre should contribute at least 10 patients aged ≤40 treated over 10 years, plus three random patients over 40 for each (e.g. 10 young, 30 older).
To take part, write to the study’s creator and coordinator, Dr. Christina Sauter:
