Background: Oral cancer is the sixth most common cancer occurring anywhere in the globe. Cancers of the mouth are caused by tobacco and alcohol overuse, and also between pre-malignancy and full-fledged malignancy. In order to avoid the onset of illness, proper cleanliness of the mouth is important.

Objective: In this study we aimed to identify the potential inhibitor for Aurora kinase B as a potential therapeutic target for oral cancer from the phytocompounds from .

Methodology: Compounds from were screened against Aurora kinase B using a structure-based virtual screening approach using Pyrx software. Based on the scoring parameters best compounds were chosen to analysis the interaction by using Discovery studio visualizer.

Results: Four compounds-pedunculin, nevadensin, chrysoeriol, and genistein were selected as the most promising leads based on the scoring parameter.

Conclusion: These chemicals could be potential therapeutic candidates that need to be investigated further in the laboratory.

Immunotherapy has brought better survival benefits in the treatment of recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC). However, owing to the lack of relevant biomarkers that could predict the efficacy of this treatment, it often has to be maintained. Here we report on a patient with stage IVA squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue who developed an unresectable lesion in the neck after surgery and radical chemoradiotherapy.

Background: Although systemic therapies have improved considerably over the last decade, up to 50% of patients with metastatic melanoma still die due to disease progression. Oncological treatment at the end-of-life phase is challenging. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency and type of systemic therapy received by melanoma patients in their end-of-life phase.

Metastasis is the hallmark of malignancy but the spread to brain is an exceedingly rare occurrence for oral cancer. Two of our patients who underwent definitive surgery for oral cancer developed manifestations of Central nervous system (CNS) involvement within 7 days of surgery, one with seizures and other with cranial nerve palsies (3rd and 7th ), who were otherwise symptom free for CNS involvement preoperatively. These cases highlight the need for thorough metastasis workup including CNS.

Trismus, or restricted mouth opening is a very common and often neglected side effect in oral and oropharyngeal malignancies owing to the disease itself as well as its treatment with surgery and/or chemoradiation. This study aims at assessing the prevalence of trismus occurring after complete treatment in diagnosed cases of oral and oropharyngeal malignancy and to assess various risk factors associated with development of trismus in these patients. A prospective, observational study conducted over a 2 years at a tertiary care hospital.

Unlabelled: Nasal polyp (NP) is a pathological benign mass that affects the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. This lesion is occasionally associated with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), which is named chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) indicates abnormal cell proliferation which may help assess the nasopharyngeal lesions and upper airway cancers.
