@entity5 is one of the commonest @entity5 among males in India. This study was carried out to evaluate the demographics, risk profile, clinicopathologic features, and treatment outcome in young @entity1 with @entity957 ( @entity957 ) of the tongue. @entity1 under the age of 35 years with @entity957 presenting between 1982 and 1996 were identified using institutions centralized electronic database. Demographic, clinical, and pathologic characteristics were abstracted from the case records. Survival was calculated by Kaplan-Meier method. One hundred and fifteen @entity1 with histologically confirmed @entity957 were analyzed. The mean age at presentation was 30.5 years with a 1.7:1 male to female ratio. Prior exposure to @entity286 and @entity167 was noted in 58 (50.5%) @entity1 . At presentation, 70 (60.9%) were in stages III and IV, and 59 (51.3%) @entity1 had regional lymph node involvement. The overall disease-free survival (DFS) at 3 and 5 years were 63% and 54.9%, respectively. A statistically significant difference in DFS was seen between @entity1 with N(0) and N(1) disease compared to N(2) or N(3) disease. Various other factors like age, sex, habits, and stage of the disease were found to have no significant effect on DFS. Results of the present study suggest that contrary to the belief, the survival among young @entity1 is almost similar to that in older @entity1 .
