Role of Food Supplements in Premalignant Lesions: A Literature Review
Abstract: Premalignant lesions of the oral cavity are histopathological alterations in the oral epithelium linked to a higher likelihood of malignant transformation. These lesions frequently present as leukoplakia (white patches), erythroplakia (red patches), oral lichen planus, and oral submucous fibrosis. Oral cancer, categorized among head and neck malignancies, is considered the sixth most common cancer globally. While tobacco and alcohol consumption remain the primary etiological factors, increasing evidence underscores the significant …

Advances in Multiclass Oral Cancer Detection Using Spectroscopic and AI Techniques
Abstract: Oral cancer, primarily OSCC, is still a major health issue worldwide, especially in low-HDI countries. Early diagnosis is essential since survival rates for early detection are much higher than for late-stage detection. However, traditional methods like visual inspection and biopsy are time-consuming, invasive, and rely on the clinician's skill, which is a limitation in accessibility and efficiency. Oral cancer detection has just been revolutionized by recent advances in spectroscopic techniques, …

An Immunohistochemical Study to Assess the Role of Myofibroblasts in Diagnosing and Predicting the Outcome of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Abstract: Background: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) accounts for approximately 94% of all oral malignancies, hence establishing oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) as one of the top 10 most prevalent malignant tumors. Cells with several functions, such as macrophages and myofibroblasts, play a vital role in the biological behavior of tumors. This study aimed to assess and evaluate the prevalence of myofibroblasts (MF) and macrophages in SCCs occurring in the oral region. …
