Abstract

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (oscc) is one of the most prevalent cancers. It has become more evident that cellular aging and decreased surveillance play role in the development of this disease. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the total antioxidant status (TAS) of saliva and serum in patients with oscc.

Introduction

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (oscc) is one of the most prevalent cancers and is one of the 10 most common causes of death. Incidence of oral cancer is age related, which may reflect time for accumulation of genetic changes and duration of exposure to initiator such as physical irritants, viruses, hormonal effects, cellular aging, and decreased immunologic surveillance with aging
