Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) is a rare tumor predominantly affecting the elderly.
  • Risk factors include advanced age, male sex, UV exposure, smoking, and HPV.
  • Historically, diagnosis and management paradigms have evolved significantly.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent advances in the diagnosis and management of OSSN.
  • To highlight new insights into the pathogenesis of OSSN, particularly the role of HPV.
  • To discuss emerging and established treatment modalities.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent literature on OSSN diagnosis and treatment.
  • Discussion of impression cytology as a diagnostic tool.
  • Evaluation of chemotherapeutic agents and topical interferon therapy.

Main Results:

  • Impression cytology offers a noninvasive method for OSSN diagnosis and monitoring.
  • Chemotherapies like mitomycin C and 5-fluorouracil are effective alternatives to surgery.
  • Topical Interferon alpha 2b shows promise for treating OSSN.

Conclusions:

  • Recent advancements have improved OSSN diagnosis and management.
  • Minimally invasive approaches are increasingly effective.
  • Newer therapies offer alternatives to traditional treatments, enhancing patient outcomes.
