Video - Oral squamous cell carcinoma - Etiology and Pathogenesis
Introduction
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), very simply put, is a malignant neoplasm of the squamous cell or keratinocyte. Various factors induce DNA mutations in the squamous cell, causing excess proliferation of these cells leading to cancer.
OSCC is known to be the most common oral malignancy. It is reported to account for 90% of all cancers occurring in oral cavity. Very often, OSCC is preceded by oral potentially malignant disorders like leukoplakia or erythroplakia.
Trivia
This video was created in early 2022 and was also the last video (out of at least 100 videos) I had made for HackDentistry. The idea when creating this was to experiment and make an academic tutorial that had a blend of a comic and cinema (through comic illustrations, story telling and background music, though I still feel I could do a lot better). The idea has always been to make learning academic material as fun as possible.
Hopefully I will (I am trying my best) find the time to make more videos and for free in the near future.
Here’s the 🎥 video!
Have fun learning!
