Abstract

The clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of several squamous cell carcinoma cases are covered thoroughly. Roughly 94% of all mouth malignancies are squamous cell carcinomas. Race, gender, and age group differences exist in annual incidence and mortality rates. This percentage is 7.7 per 100,000 in the US. Like other carcinomas, intraoral carcinoma is more common in older adults, especially in men. Individuals with oral SCC have often known about an abnormality in that area for four to eight months prior to seeking professional medical attention. Early growth is characterized by little discomfort, which may account for the delay in seeking professional assistance. The clinical manifestations of oral SCC include exophytic, endophytic, leukoplakic, and erythroplakic, all of which exhibit apparent surface alterations.Tobacco usage, excessive alcohol consumption, HPV infection, eating little fruits and vegetables, prolonged sun exposure, and having a compromised immune system are risk factors. Improving outcomes requires early discovery and treatment, which may include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, or a combination of these. In order to improve the prognosis for oral cancer, early identification and intervention are crucial. Survival risk from squamous cell carcinoma is often low. This article emphasis on the clinical presentation of oral malignancies.
