  • Purpose The choice of surgical approach for floor of the mouth (FOM) cancer, particularly for intermediate-stage tumors (cT2–cT3), remains controversial. This study aims to evaluate a method considering mylohyoid muscle (MM) invasion as a determinant for surgical approach selection, utilizing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) preoperatively and frozen section (FS) analysis intraoperatively. Methods This observational retrospective cohort study analyzed patients undergoing surgical resection of cT2 and cT3 FOM squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) between January 2013 and June 2023. MM infiltration assessed by preoperative MRI determined the surgical approach: clear infiltration led to compartmental surgery (CS), while doubtful or absent infiltration led to transoral surgery (TOS). Conversion from TOS to CS occurred intraoperatively based on macroscopic evidence or positive FS. Data collected included demographic, clinical, surgical, and pathological variables. Survival analysis was conducted using Kaplan–Meier method. Results Among 44 patients included, majority had cT2 tumors (59.1%). MM resection was necessary in 22.7% of cases. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) did not significantly differ between TOS and CS groups. Radiological depth of invasion (rDOI) < 10 mm is correlated with MM preservation in 89% of cases, while rDOI > 10 mm is correlated with MM resection only in 23.8% of cases. Pathological depth of invasion (pDOI) discrepancies were observed in the two groups: in CS group is shown a higher pDOI (> 10 mm) confirmation (90%). Surgical complications and functional outcomes differed between TOS and CS groups. Conclusion Considering MM invasion for surgical approach selection in cT2–cT3 FOM tumors appears oncologically safe, with better functional outcomes in muscle preservation. Preoperative MRI for MM assessment combined with intraoperative FS analysis provides reliable guidance for surgical decision-making.
