Brief Summary

Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common oral malignancy worldwide. The prognosis of the OSCC patient is not significant despite the modern treatment facilities. Late presentation is one of the most crucial cause of this and for that reason, the importance of early diagnosis of OSCC should be the main concern. Till now, incisional biopsy followed by histopathological examination is the gold standard for diagnosis of oral cancer. The aim of the present study is to find out the association of salivary amino acid levels with oral squamous cell carcinoma, whether the levels are increased or decreased in the patient suffering from OSCC. This might be helpful for early diagnosis of oral cancer and better prognosis.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The primary outcome of the study to establish a diagnostic test in the early detection of OSCC.

    1\. Total 110 samples, 55 in each group (case and control) will be included in the study and a questionnaire will be filled up by each participant based on their sociodemographic characteristics, personal habit and also the tumor staging of confirmed cancer cases. Saliva metabolite profiling of six amino acids (Alanine, Valine, Glycine, Phenylalanine, Isoleucine, Lysine) will be performed using LCMS/MS system. During metabolite profiling experiments, centroid data will be acquired for each sample from 50 to 1000 Da with a 0.10-sec scan time and a 0.01-sec interscan delay over an 18-min analysis time. 3\. The LCMS/MS data of OSCC and control saliva samples will be analyzed to identify potential discriminant variables. Selecting the method, investigator will create dataset, Researcher would like to (i) detect Peaks and (ii) collect markers. The investigators can create dataset display, and at this point, it is also possible to automatically print data into a text file.

    From December,2020 to February, 2022

Study Arms (1)

Patients with Progressive Disease and without Progressive Disease

1. Patients with Progressive Disease Patients with metastasis and/or recurrent OSCC were considered as a group of subjects with progressive disease. 2. Patients with without Progressive Disease Patients without metastasis and/or recurrent OSCC were considered as a group of subjects without progressive disease.

Diagnostic Test: Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Interventions

To identify the association of elevated level of specific amino acids in OSCC by Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry

Patients with Progressive Disease and without Progressive Disease

Eligibility Criteria

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Patients and their attendants attending in outdoor and indoor clinic of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department, BSMMU according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Total sample size will be 110 and 55 in each group. Cases are the oral squamous cell carcinoma patients confirmed by incisional biopsy and controls are the relatively same age group and healthy individuals.

You may qualify if:

  • Age: 18-70 years.
  • Both genders.
  • Patient with histo-pathologically diagnosedoral squamous carcinoma
  • Healthy patients without any malignancy
  • Patients relatively almost the same age group of cases

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients with severe periodontitis and multiple carious teeth.
  • Patients having other systemic diseases and cancer.
  • Having severe periodontal problemsor dental caries
  • Suffering from any cancer
