About this trial

The aim 1 of this trial is the development of the Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) definition of oral cancer minimal residual disease (MRD), and aim 2 is a prospective trial of oral cancer treatment. If this trial is successful, it is expected that it may be able to provide a standard diagnostic tool (MRD in Oral Cavity Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OCSCC)) and treatment mode (extended adjuvant chemotherapy with low-dose oral chemotherapy). The survival rate of patients will be improved.
