Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the leading presentations of head and neck cancer (HNC). The first part of this review will describe the highlights of the oral microbiome in health and normal development while demonstrating how both the oral and gut microbiome can map OSCC development, progression, treatment and the potential side effects associated with its management. We then scope the dynamics of the various microorganisms of the oral cavity, including bacteria, mycoplasma, fungi, archaea and viruses, and describe the characteristic roles they may play in OSCC development. We also highlight how the human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV) may impinge on the host microbiome and increase the burden of oral premalignant lesions and OSCC in patients with HIV. Finally, we summarise current insights into the microbiome–treatment axis pertaining to OSCC, and show how the microbiome is affected by radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy and also how these therapies are affected by the state of the microbiome, potentially determining the success or failure of some of these treatments.

Abstract Aim To conduct a clinicopathological review of oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and to analyze it with respect to gender, age at diagnosis, clinical presentation, lesion location, and histological grading. Methods and Materials Information on the clinicopathological characteristics of SCC was obtained from pathology reports of 342 cases. Results The male to female ratio was 1:1 and the incidence increased with age. Among the patients 4.7% were younger than 40 years and males were predominant in this subgroup. The alveolar ridge and gingiva were the most commonly affected sites (50%). The majority of the SCC cases presented as ulcers or masses. Swelling and/or pain were the first signs and/ or symptoms in most patients (52.6%). The age at diagnosis in relation to the site of occurrence varied. Conventional SCC was the most common subtype (88%). Well-differentiated SCC was the most common histological grading (78.6%). Conclusion In the present study, the incidence of SCC was age-related and showed equal gender distribution. Clinical Significance Routine examination of the oral cavity by dental practitioners and other health care providers aids in the early detection of premalignant and malignant oral disease. Dentists can play a significant role in disseminating information regarding oral cancer. Citation Jainkittivong A, Swasdison S, Thangpisityotin M, Lnaglais RP.

Background: As most of the oral squamous cell carcinoma develop from precursor premalignant lesions, it would be helpful if the malignant transformation is detected early in premalignant state. The objective of the research was to study the role of immunohistochemical expression of p53 and Ki-67 in oral premalignant lesion and squamous cell carcinoma.Materials and Methods: The expression of immunomarkers p53 and Ki67 were studied on formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue sections from human oral squamous mucosal lesion for duration of 1 year. Results: Of total 36 cases, 80% cases of keratosis without dysplasia showed basal pattern of p53 staining while 47.1% cases of squamous cell carcinoma showed p53 staining in all layers of epithelium. The median p53 Labelling Index of squamous cell carcinoma was more than those of keratosis with and without dysplasia though the result was statistically non-significant. 50.0% cases of keratosis without dysplasia and 83.3% cases of keratosis with dysplasia displayed Ki-67 immunostaining confined to basal and suprabasal layer whereas 94.1% cases of squamous cell carcinoma showed Ki-67 positivity in all layers of epithelium. Median Ki-67 Labelling Index increased from keratosis without dysplasia to keratosis with dysplasia to squamous cell carcinoma, difference being statistically significant. A positive and insignificant correlation was observed between p53 and Ki-67 Labelling Index.Conclusion: Increased expressions of Ki-67 and p53 in oral squamous cell carcinoma compared to premalignant lesion suggest that they may be useful indicator of malignant transformation in dysplastic lesion.
