ABSTRACT Background: The oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), the most common malignant tumor of cavity, have aggressive biological behavior and is treated with surgical excision, lymph node dissection submandibular gland excision. However, rarely involved by OSCC. study aimed to identify prevalence involvement metastasis in cavity patients at a tertiary care center Pakistan. Methods: cancer (1...

UNLABELLED Oral squamous cells carcinoma (OSCC) shows unfavorable prognosis due to its invasion potential around the neighboring tissues and the elevated incidence of metastasis. AIM the present paper aims at analyzing the immunohistochemical expression of the nm23 protein in metastatic and non-metastatic SCCs of tongue. METHODS the immuno-expression to the nm23-hl protein was diagnosed in ...

UNLABELLED The importance of having tumor-free margins when resecting oral neoplasms has been known for decades. OBJECTIVE To correlate clinical and pathology data to surgical margin status in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue and floor of the mouth. METHOD This historical cohort cross-sectional study included all patients submitted to squamous cell carcinoma resection for...

Head and neck cancer is a disease arising in various organs, including oral cavity, tongue, pharynx, and larynx. Oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common form of head and neck cancer and is the major cause of death among all forms of head and neck cancer globally (Lippman et al., 2005; Parkin et al., 2005; Sudbo and Reith, 2005). In this study, we focused on OSCC, which is ...

BACKGROUND To determine the prevalence and clinicopathologic features of the oral cancer patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS Biopsy records of the participating institutions were reviewed for oral cancer cases diagnosed from 2005 to 2014. Demographic data and site of the lesions were collected. Sites of the lesion were subdivided into lip, tongue, floor of the mouth, gingiva, alveolar mucosa, pala...

To analyze the clinical symptoms and signs in cases of oral submucous fibrosis which has transformed into squamous cell carcinoma, twenty-nine patients with squamous cell carcinoma correlated with oral submucous fibrosis, leukoplakia, lichen planus were taken biopsy for positive diagnosis. The clinical and pathological diagnosis of oral submucous fibrosis depended on clinical and pathological d...

Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common malignant neoplasm of the oral cavity, usually affecting individuals over 50 years of age. It rarely occurs in patients who are less than 40 years old (1 to 6%). This report describes a case of squamous cell carcinoma, staged T2N1M0 (stage III), involving the lateral border and dorsal surface of the tongue of a 25-yearold white female patient, with no ...

Alcohol increases the risk of carcinoma originated from oral epithelium, but the biological effects of ultra-low doses of ethanol on existing carcinoma cells in combination with natural substances are still unclear. A role for ethanol (EtOH), taken in small amounts as an ingredient of some beverages or mouthwashes to change the growth behavior of established squamous cell carcinoma, has still n...
