This study investigates the role of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) as predictive biomarkers in treatment-naive patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The findings show that CTC presence is associated with poor prognostic factors and reduced overall survival, highlighting the clinical potential of CTC analysis in risk stratification and treatment planning for head and neck cancers.
