What is the main reason that the role of frozen analysis of margins in oral cavity cancer has been heavily debated?
It is not cost-effective for surgeons to perform.
According to the passage, what is the main limitation of frozen-section analysis in oral cavity cancer?
It is not able to reliably predict whether the entire tumor surface of the final specimen will be clear of close or involved margins.
Which of the following statements best summarizes the main conclusion of the passage?
The ability of frozen-section analysis to predict clear margins in oral cavity cancer surgery is limited, leading to its use being heavily debated.
Which of the following best describes the relationship between frozen-section analysis and final histologic analysis of oral cavity cancer specimens as described in the passage?
Frozen-section analysis is highly accurate and has a high correlation with final histologic analysis.
What is the main reason given in the passage for why frozen-section analysis appears to be more beneficial in smaller localized tumors?
Smaller tumors have a more reliable prediction of clear margins using frozen-section analysis.
