Abstract

Aim: The aim of the study is to ascertain whether there happens to be any relation between the histological grading (according to broders system) of oral squamous cell carcinoma cases and their regional metastasis, depth of invasion and perineural invasion.
Background: Squamous cell carcinoma is known to be the most common malignancy of the oral cavity. Staging and grading of OSCC are established are the main requirements for management, because they influence risk stratification and are one of the first step towards personalized treatment. Histological grading was introduced for the first time by Broder’s for squamous cell carcinomas of lip.
Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study of 53 patients who were diagnosed as oral squamous cell carcinomas from April 2021 to January 2023. The specimen of the cases were sent to our Department of Pathology, Acharya Shri Chandra college of medical sciences and hospital, Jammu for histopathological examination after resection.
Result: Broder’s grading does co relate to the metastasis, depth of invasion and perineural invasion.
Conclusion: There should be more studies at a larger level to ascertain the potential of Breslow grading.

Keywords: Oral squamous cell carcinoma, Broder’s grading, Depth of invasion, Cervical lymph node metastasis, Perineural invasion.
