[quote=donfoo]Paul,

Thanks for posting the calculator but I wanted to point out a couple things about its usefulness to today's typical OSCC patient/survivor.

The calculator is based on older data
[quote]The calculators are based on observed outcomes for cancer patients from 1987-2007[/quote] and does not ask for HPV status which we all now know is a factor that has significantly different outcomes.

Also asks for Extracapsular Spread which is an uncommon indicator most don't report or know much about.

I think I'd rather go to an online gambling site and determine my fate at the roulette game. LOL [/quote]

I had to reply.

First, roulette odds suck. Try CRAPS.

Second, I used the calculator for the first time. I am shocked at your replies. It is based on hard science. Evidence based science. Based on the results, I have given what was left of my meager possessions to charity, bought a coffin and I am currently lying in it typing on my laptop waiting for my demise.

I bid you adieu!
