description

Over 90% of oral cancers are squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs) which are of epithelial origin. Other types of malignancies account for the small remaining 10%. In this chapter, we describe the clinical characteristics of early- and advanced-stage OSCC and also consider the differential diagnosis of early-stage OSCC. The priority concern is to establish an early diagnosis, in order to secure the best possible prognosis and highest survival rate among oral cancer patients.
