Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the diagnostic potential of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), comparing them to a control group of healthy individuals.
- Results show that CTC levels in OSCC patients were significantly higher than in the control group, and they correlated with factors like age and tumor stage, but not with demographics like gender.
- The CTC measurement demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy for OSCC with a sensitivity of 90.3% and specificity of 95.0% at a specific value, suggesting it could be a valuable tool for detecting the disease and assessing metastasis.
