Emerging salivary biomarkers for squamous cell carcinoma in the oral cavity: A brief overview

Abstract

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in the oral cavity represents a significant health concern, demanding improved early diagnosis. Often it goes unnoticed in the oral cavity and is later detected only during multiple organ involvement. This brief review provides a concise exploration of the salivary biomarkers that hold immense promise for the early detection of oral Squamous cell carcinoma. With a focus on early detection that may revolutionize the management of this challenging disease and reduce future complications. This review focuses on the role of salivary biomarkers in early detection and planning a specific approach for the treatment of patients.
