Abstract:

Objective This study aimed to analyze the clinical characteristics as well as the pathological and biological behavior of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) originated from oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) caused by the habit of chewing fresh betel nut. Methods A total of 247 patients with OSCC who underwent surgical treatment were retrospectively analyzed, including 133 cases of OSCC with OSF caused by the habit of chewing fresh betel nut (OSCC-OSF group) and 114 cases of OSCC without OSF (OSCC group). Clinical data and pathological results of the patients were collected, and the age, sex, lesion location, clinical stage, pathological grade, lymph node metastasis rate, and recurrence rate of the patients were analyzed. SPSS 26.0 was used for data analysis, and differences at P<0.05 were consi-dered statistically significant. Results The results of this study indicated that the average age of the OSCC-OSF group [(50.68±11.54) years old] was lower than that of the OSCC group [(57.90±12.85) years old]. In addition, the male-to-female ratio in the OSCC-OSF group was higher than that in the OSCC group (6.82∶1 vs 2.16∶1), and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Although OSF canceration has a significant effect on the pathological differentiation of OSCC (P<0.05), the pathological differentiation of the OSCC-OSF group was remarkable, and the pathological differentiation of the OSCC group was poor. The recurrence rate of the OSCC-OSF group (19.1%) was lower than that of the OSCC group (31.5%). The 5-year survival rate of the OSCC-OSF group (85.5%) was higher than that of the OSCC group (74.8%), and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). However, OSF has no significant effect on the lymph node metastasis rate and clinical stages of OSCC (P>0.05). Conclusion The OSF patients with OSCC who also have the habit of chewing fresh betel nut were mainly male. The tumors often occurred in the tongue, cheeks, and lips, and the degree of tumor differentiation and prognosis was good.
