| Abstract |
The aim of this study was to evaluate the postoperative platelet count changes in patients with oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma undergoing preoperative chemoradiotherapy in order to test the hypothesis that the failure of platelets to recover to normal range within 7 days after surgery represents a significant risk factor for poor survival. |
