Article Synopsis
- - Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) is responsible for nearly 90% of oral cancers, and researchers are investigating various factors that may influence treatment outcomes, including vitamin D levels.
- - A study involving 40 subjects (20 OSCC patients and 20 healthy individuals) found that salivary vitamin D3 levels were significantly lower in OSCC patients (39.09 ng/dl) compared to healthy controls (44.49 ng/dl).
- - The findings suggest that vitamin D deficiency may contribute to more aggressive cancer characteristics in OSCC, indicating the potential benefit of vitamin D supplementation during and after treatment to improve patient prognosis.
