Objective: Evaluation of presentable tumor size in oral squamous cell carcinoma was the objective of the study. Patients and Method: The study sample comprised of ninety-eight biopsies diagnosed as oral squamous cell carcinoma presented to dental college from 2015 to 2020. Result and analysis of presentable tumor size when reported. Results: Male to female ratio was 2.5:1. Among the 295 diagnosed OSCC cases presentable tumor sizes when reported, most of the cases were T2 (42.37%) followed by T1 (18.3%), T3 (11.86%), and T4 (6.1%). Conclusions: Oral squamous cell carcinoma is one of the major health problems in India. Strategies must be made to improve the present scenario of health care service, where Government-run health care centres are burdened with ever-increasing patient pool, and to avail treatment in such centres is always a compromise with time and health. Oral health and cancer awareness programs should be undertaken for prevention, early diagnosis, and management of the affected population. Regular long-term follow-up is also necessary for these cases to avoid the recurrence of the disease and a better quality of life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
