Is OSMF is an independent variable to affect cervical metastasis in OSCC associated with OSMF
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
There has been increased incidence of concomitant association of OSCC & OSMF in recent times. The aim of study is to determine whether OSMF is independent factor to determine the cervical metastasis in patients of OSCC with OSMF. Authors prospectively investigated total 100 patients which were divided into two groups (OSCC-OSMF and OSCC) with 50 patients in each group. Patients of both the group underwent surgery for OSCC with curative intent. In the study, males were predominantly affected in both the groups. In OSCC-OSMF group most commonly affected age group was of 31-40 (32%) and 41-50 years (32%). Whereas, in OSCC group, most commonly affected age group was of 51-60 years (30%). Buccal mucosa was the most frequently involved site in both the groups, accounting for 40% cases in each group. Most of the tumors were moderately diffentiated in OSCC-OSMF group, where as in OSCC group most of them were well differentiated. Most of the patients in OSCC-OSMF group had grade three and grade four diseases. Cervical metastasis in OSCC-OSMF group was 34% whereas in OSCC group was 26%. Level Ib lymph nodes were most frequently involved in both the groups (OSCC-OSMF:22% and OSCC:18%). Correlation between OSMF grading and cervical metastasis was not significant. OSCC with OSMF affects younger population showing, predominantly involving buccal mucosa. OSMF did not have any independent impact on cervical metastases. However a study with larger sample size is required to arrive at a logical conclusion. Keywords:Oral submucous fibrosis, Oral squamous cell carcinoma, cervical metastasis
