What Does OSCC Stand For?

OSCC stands for Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

OSCC, or Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma, is a malignant tumor that arises from the squamous cells lining the oral cavity. It is characterized by the uncontrolled growth of these cells and can present as a sore, ulcer, or lesion that does not heal. Risk factors include tobacco use, alcohol consumption, and human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for improving prognosis, and management typically involves a multidisciplinary approach, including surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy.
