Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide with high recurrence rates and resistance to conventional therapies. Recent studies have highlighted the pivotal role of oral cancer stem cells (OCSCs) in driving treatment resistance and tumor recurrence. OCSCs possess unique properties, including self-renewal, differentiation potential, and resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, which contribute to their ability to survive treatment and initiate tumor relapse.

Article Synopsis
  • Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has high morbidity and mortality rates, and timely diagnosis is essential for better patient outcomes; however, diagnostic delays are a significant concern.
  • A study with 226 OSCC patients examined demographic and socioeconomic factors contributing to these delays, finding that the average delay was 55.2 days, with a significant number of patients affected by delays over 40 days.
  • Key factors linked to longer delays included older age, single marital status, lower education, and lower income, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to improve early detection and patient outcomes.
