Letter to the editor regarding, "Beneath the surface: A systematic review on intraoperative imaging techniques for deep margin assessment in oral squamous cell carcinoma".

Surgical methods for oral squamous cell carcinoma have the potential to improve patient outcomes with the integration of modern imaging tools for deep margin evaluation. This articlesummarises the potential benefits of MRI, FMI, and ultrasound modalities for improving surgical accuracy, based on a wide range of research. Theuses of intraoperative imaging in oral pathology are also covered, along with difficulties including ethical and technological constraints. Important insights to direct future research and implementation efforts in the field of oral cancer surgery are provided, which also examines implications for clinical education and innovation.
