“…This study has been done to evaluate salivary microRNA's diagnostic potential for the early identification of OSCC, contains 120 patients of SCC with an overall average of 47.45+10.85 years and male predominance 70.8%. These findings were supported by the study of Ahmad P et al 12 as large proportion of individuals with cancer of the oral cavity were males accounting for 62.8%, 83.4% without addiction of alcohol, 57.5% nonsmokers, 96.7% non-betel quid chewers, and Malay 68.8% in ethnicity. On the other hand, Nihar RB et al 13 reported that the results of the crosstabulation of age and gender showed that the majority of patients, 245 (57.24%), were female in the age range of 45-64 years, followed by males in the same age group with 480 (51.39%) patients.…”

OBJECTIVE: To assess the diagnostic role of salivary microRNA for early detection oforal squamous cell carcinoma and to compare the salivary microRNA with Biopsy in thediagnosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma.Methodology: The descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in the department of pathology and molecular laboratory, department of oral & maxillofacial surgery of Liaquat University of Medical Health Sciences, Jamshoro / Hyderabad.Inclusion Criteria: All histopathologicaly diagnosed OSCC patients of both genders with age group 18 years and above will be included in the study after taking their informed consent. Whole saliva samples (inactivated) were collectedfrom subjects diagnosed as OSCC and controls. The subjects were counseled to avoid eating, drinking, smoking or oral procedures for at least 1 h prior to the collection of saliva. Subjects are asked to rinse their mouth well with distilled drinking water for one minute before taking the saliva samples. After five minutes of oral rinsing spit 5 mL of saliva into a 50 mL sterile tube placed on the ice. The tube should remain on ice while collecting the saliva samples. Fourhundred microliters of the whole saliva mixture (200 ?L whole saliva and 200 ?L RNA later),and 400 ?L of the supernatant saliva was used for RNA extraction. Saliva samples wereextracted using the mirVana™ miRNA Isolation Kit according to the manufacturer's guideline(Ambion Inc., Austin, TX). Whole saliva samples were preserved with RN Alater (QIAGENInc., Valencia, CA) and supernatant saliva samples were preserved with SUPE Rase. In™ (Ambion Inc., Austin, TX). The data was entered in the statistical package for social sciences for windows (SPSS) V: 26.RESULTS: A total of 120 samples of oral squamous cell carcinoma were taken, which met theinclusion criteria. Mean age of the patients was 47.45+10.85 years. 85(70.8%) were married and35 (29.2%) were unmarried. 90.0% were married and 5.0% were unmarried, while 5.0% werewidow. Cigarette smoking, paan, chaalia and naswar were the commonest cause of the oralsquamous cell carcinoma. Lips, buccal mucosa and tong were the commonest t sites of the oralsquamous cell carcinoma. 16.7% cases had positive family history of oral squamous cellcarcinoma. Out of all study subjects, most of the cases 59.2% had moderately differentiatedSCC, 30.0% cases had well-differentiated SCC and 10.8% of the cases had poor differentiatedSCC. Out of all study subjects, 87.5% of the patients had positive micro-RNA expression.Micro-RNA expression was significantly associated, with poorly differentiated squamous cellcarcinoma (p=0.016). CONCLUSION: Study revealed that the salivary miroRNA expression were significantlypositive in patients of OSCC. Therefore, salivary microRNA could be considered as a useful andadvantageous biomarker for the detection and tracking of OSCC across various levels of tissueabnormalities

“…Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the oral and maxillofacial region is a potentially lifethreatening malignancy due to its invasiveness into the orofacial and neck vital structures. [1] Oral SCC is the most common carcinoma of the oral cavity and has been ranked the 12 th most common cancer worldwide. [1,2] The incidence and mortality associated with cancers in the maxillofacial region varies across different part of the world and higher in developing countries.…”

Background: Orofacial cancers remain a serious burden in developing countries largely due to scarcity of resources in both diagnosis and treatment. This study aimed to present the pattern of clinical presentation and management of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the oral and maxillofacial region at a tertiary health care facility, Northwestern Nigeria. Materials and Methods: This study was a retrospective analysis of cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the oral and maxillofacial regionseen in the past 12 years (January 2012 to January 2023). After obtaining ethical approval from the research and ethics committee of the institution, patients’ demographic characteristics, risk factors, sites, stage, histologic diagnosis, and treatment status were extracted from the patient's record. The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS version 25 software. Results: A total of 233 cases (114 (76.8%) males and 54 (23.2%) females) were analyzedin the age range of 20-80 years with a mean±SD of 52.98±16.08years. Most of the patients 174(74.7%) were farmers. The onset ranged from 6 weeks to 2 years. The main complaint of the patients were pain and swelling (132 (56.7%)). Extensive or multiplesites (72 (30.9%)) constitute the majority of the SCC. Well-differentiated SCC (133 (57.1%)) was the predominant diagnosis and, the majority (86 (36.9%)) were Stage IV lesions. The male patients were found to have more advanced disease compared to females with a statistically significant difference (p= 0.000). Surgery+ referral for chemotherapy/radiotherapy (125(57.1)) was the main treatment modality. Conclusion: The well-differentiated SCC was thecommonest histologic subtype. Surgery and chemoradiation therapy were treatment modalities offered the patients especially with the early lesions and prompt initiation of treatment.
