To assess the demographic patterns, risk factor exposures, clinical presentations, histopathological grades, and metastasis status among patients diagnosed with oral squamous cell carcinoma.
Conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study of 61 patients diagnosed between 2009 and 2013 at an institutional oral pathology department.
Recorded patient age, sex, lesion location, nodal metastasis, risk habits, and tumor grades, evaluating habit-variable correlations with Pearson's Chi-square tests.
A total of 61 patients presented with a male-to-female ratio of 2.6:1, with maximum incidence observed in the fifth and sixth decades of life.
Tobacco chewing was reported in 59 cases (with quid chewing being the most frequent habit) and sharp teeth in 2 cases, with the buccal mucosa being the most common site.
Most lesions were well-differentiated without lymph node metastasis, though the correlation between habits and clinicopathological variables was statistically insignificant (P < 0.05).

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Retrospective cross-sectional study identifies betel quid chewing as the predominant risk factor in oral cancer patients, highlighting its key etiological role in mucosal malignancy.
