Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Cancers deals with the most common type of malignancy of the oral cavity, the oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).
Careful diagnosis, risk-based and adapted treatment as well as adequate follow-up play a key role in the management of oral cancer patients and prevent drawbacks, development of locoregional recurrence, and cancer-related death.
The aim behind this contribution is to give a comprehensive overview on the up-to-date understanding of this disease, including clinical manifestation, diagnosis, and histopathologic features of OSCC, and to augment the current guidelines for its multimodal treatment strategies for professionals and researchers.
Mainly, selected review articles will summarize and highlight the most recent advances achieved in the special fields of the diagnosis and treatment of OSCC. In addition, further research articles on special topics in relation to OSCC are encouraged to contribute to any aspect of the study and treatment of this disease.
Articles dealing with the following topics are provided:
- Epidemiology, current classification, and staging of OSCC.
- Imaging of OSCC.
- Histopathology of OSCC and related histologic and molecular biologic risk factors.
- Surgical treatment of OSCC.
- Reconstruction options for oral soft and hard tissue.
- Radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immune therapy.
- Postoperative care and supportive treatment of patients with OSCC.
