A case of oral squamous cell carcinoma in a nontobacco habitué

Abstract: India is considered to be the oral cancer capital of the world. Oral squamous cell carcinoma is a multifactorial disease with tobacco and alcohol being considered major risk factors. However, there is a growing incidence of nonhabit (i.e., the absence of tobacco or alcohol) associated oral cancer. Difference is noted in demographics, site predilection, grade, and stage while comparing habit associated and nonhabit associated oral carcinoma. This warrants a need for a greater understanding of carcinogenesis wit… Show more

“…While some writers claim that non-habit-related OSCC frequently affects young people, others claim that the age of susceptibility is bimodal globally, i.e., between 40 and 70. However, this situation deviates from the bimodal age predilection [11]. The earlier age at which non-habit-associated OSCC develops is thought to be influenced by genetic predisposition, viral etiology, phagocytic diseases, Fanconi anemia (FA), and environmental toxins [11].…”

“…[2][3][4] Genes play a crucial role in developing oral squamous cell carcinoma, especially in the tongue and the buccal mucosa. [5] These can predict oral cancer and assist in early diagnosis, especially in precancerous lesions and conditions. [6] The cancer cells undergo modifications and exhibit abnormal metastases, causing a rapid spread.…”
