Background:The histopathological assessment is critical in the comprehensive treatment process for patients diagnosed with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). A detailed and precise specimen characterization is essential to facilitate effective surgeon–pathologist communication.Methods:In response to this need, a user-friendly virtual communication protocol utilizing a 3D scanner has been developed. This study involved 50 patients with OSCC, whose resected tumors were directly scanned in the operating room and subsequently annotated and characterized using available software.Results:The direct application of annotations and descriptions onto the virtual tumor specimens significantly enhanced the quantity and accuracy of information conveyed to the pathologist.Conclusions:The proposed solution’s repeatability and standardized approach make integration into routine clinical practice feasible, thereby establishing a potential new standard in the field.
背景：在口腔鳞状细胞癌（OSCC）患者的综合治疗过程中，组织病理学评估至关重要。详细而精确的标本特征描述对于促进外科医生与病理学家之间的有效沟通至关重要。 方法：为满足这一需求，本研究开发了一种利用三维扫描仪的用户友好型虚拟沟通方案。研究纳入了50例OSCC患者，在手术室中直接对其切除的肿瘤进行扫描，随后使用现有软件进行标注与特征描述。 结果：将标注与描述直接应用于虚拟肿瘤标本，显著提升了向病理学家传递信息的数量与准确性。 结论：该方案具有可重复性及标准化特点，使其能够整合到常规临床实践中，从而有望在该领域建立新的标准。
