Background: Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) is a major public health problem with an increasing incidence and mortality rate, primarily because of the prevalent oral habits of betel quid chewing, smoking, alcohol consumption, and poor quality of life. Despite advances in diagnostic and therapeutic intervention the 5-year survival rate of patients with OSCC has not improved. Oral squamous cell carcinoma has a great proneness to produce metastasis in lymph nodes and further reduces the survival rate. Histopathological grades of OSCC can serve as a strong prognostic indicator. Objective: 1. To study the prevalence of oral squamous cell carcinoma about patient demographic parameters (age, sex, and site of lesion). 2. Analyse the relation between histopathological grades of OSCC and regional lymph node metastasis. Material and Method: A total of 30 cases of histopathological diagnosed .. Read More»
