Oxford Comma
suggestion

"A common staging system is used for all squamous cell carcinomas of the oral cavity, with tumour staging being based on size and extension into adjacent structures. Nodal staging is the same as that used for squamous cell carcinomas of the oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx and larynx (see: staging of oral cavity squamous cell carcinomas)."

Line 10:257 · Use the Oxford comma in 'oropharynx, hypopharynx and larynx'.
