Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to examine anemia's occurrence and severity in patients diagnosed with oral cancer, particularly its relation to tumor cell differentiation, using records from 366 patients at referral centers.
- - Among the patients, 15.7% with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) had anemia compared to 11.8% with benign lesions, though the association between anemia and OSCC wasn't statistically significant.
- - Normocytic anemia was most common at diagnosis, with moderate to severely low hemoglobin levels linked to OSCC, demonstrating a significant odds ratio of 6.49, although there were gaps in the hematological data.
