Abstract
Background: OSCC is the second most widespread cancer in Asia. The COE is considered the most reliable method for detecting oral lesions that may contain OSCC or dysplasia at an early stage, when they are most treatable.
Objective: To identify the location of lesions in both males and females in order to enhance the detection of safe boundaries for oral squamous cell carcinoma in patients.
Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted over 6-month periods at Department of Oral And Maxillofacial Surgery University College of medicine and dentistry, The University of Lahore from Jan 2021 to June 2021. An approach of non-probability sampling was used to collect the data. The average age of the patients was 52.2 years, ranging from 25 to 88 years. Total 50 patients were enrolled. In this study, males made up 31 (62%) while females made up 19 (38%). Appropriate preoperative preparation was carried out after informed consent. The research comprised instances of oral squamous cell carcinoma that were confirmed by biopsy. Male and female patients had mean ages of 50.2 and 52.4 years, respectively. The buccal mucosa (n = 20) was the most often occurring location in both genders, followed by the tongue, observed in 12 cases, and the lower vestibule, observed in 9 cases. The fewer common places included the maxillary sinus (n=2), upper vestibule (n=4), and lip (n=3).
Conclusion: The findings reflect the epidemiological presence of OSCC and have highlighted prominence in the site of lesions in both genders OSCC-affected patients.
