Background: Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma in the background of Oral Sub
Mucous Fibrosis (OSCC with OSMF) is one of the most common
malignancies in South and South-East Asian countries. The clinical
presentation of OSCC is variable, and is related with the site , progression
time, association with precancerous lesions and risk factors. Recently, it has
been proposed that OSCC with OSMF constitutes a clinicopathologically
distinct disease, the differences of which believed to arise from differential
mechanisms of areca nut carcinogenesis. The proposed unique nature of
OSCC in this altered condition relates to younger age of presentation, better
histological grade of differentiation of the tumor, and lesser potential for
nodal metastasis. According to the existing knowledge, the prognostic
indicators of OSCC with OSMF in context to the cli.. Read More»
