Early Diagnosis and Treatment of Squamous Cell Carcinoma-A Case Comparison Highlighting its Importance

Peraza L. Alberto and Harvey P. Kessler

The importance of early diagnosis and treatment of oral squamous cell carcinoma in insuring an optimum patient outcome is emphasized by comparing and contrasting the clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of two patients who presented initially with fairly equivalent mucosal lesions but followed different treatment paths. The divergence of patient outcomes is directly linked to the time difference in microscopic examination.
