The medical record was reviewed for demographic data, histopathologic disease features, treatment, and outcomes. Univariable and multivariable Cox regression analyses were used to evaluate associations between IBMFS and recurrence\u2010free and overall survival among patients with SCC.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Of 235 cases, IBMFS were performed in 80.4%.
