Summary
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), a growing cancer, has poor survival rates despite treatment advances. This case highlights prognosis and delayed diagnosis challenges in a 55-year-old male with advanced local OSCC.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Oral Medicine
Background:
- Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) incidence is increasing globally.
- Risk factors include tobacco use and human papillomavirus (HPV).
- Therapeutic advances have not significantly improved survival rates for OSCC.

Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.

Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
