Abstract

Oral Squamous cell carcinoma represent the 17th most frequent cancer in the world. The main risk factors are alcohol and tobacco consumption but dietary, familial, genetic, or oral diseases may be involved in oral carcinogenesis. Diagnosis is made on biopsy, but detection remains late, leading to a poor prognosis. New technologies could reduce these delays, notably Artificial Intelligence and the quantitative evaluation of salivary biological markers. Currently, management of oral cancer consists in surgery, which can be mutilating despite possible reconstructions. In the future, immunotherapies could become a therapeutic alternative and the immune microenvironment could constitute a source of prognostic markers.
