The Outline of Prognosis and New Advances in Diagnosis of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC): Review of the Literature

Abstract: Objective. Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has a remarkable incidence over the world and a fairly strenuous prognosis, encouraging further research on the prognostic factors and new techniques for diagnosis that might modify disease outcome. Data Sources. A web-based search for all types of articles published was initiated using Medline/Pub Med, with the key words such as oral cancer, prognostic factors of oral cancer, diagnostic method of oral cancer, and imaging techniques for diagnosis of oral cancer.

“…It appears that the geographic location has no role with this rather than it is the oral habits popular in certain countries which vary from region to another (Omar EA, 2013). Our results showed that buccal mucosa was the most frequent affected site followed by alveolus, tongue, gingo buccal cavity and palate respectively.…”

“…Tumor thickness is also considered to be an important prognostic factor in head and neck cancers and an important parameter in the prediction of nodal metastases in oral squamous cell carcinoma. 4 The present study evaluated the role of various risk factors in the development of oral carcinoma among our patient population. We also studied the role of tumor thickness or depth of invasion as a prognostic parameter for the development of nodal metastasis for patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma associated with enlarged regional lymph nodes, who have undergone radical neck dissection.…”

“…Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an excellent technology for vascular imaging in invasive lesions, and it is already used as a diagnostic tool for HNC in advanced healthcare settings (44). However, MRI requires expensive, specialized imaging instrumentation, which may limit its use, and is likely not an appropriate tool for imaging superficial pre-cancers for which optical technologies, which are far less complex and expensive, can be readily used.…”
