Nanomedicine, an emerging therapeutic strategy for oral cancer therapy

Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) is the most frequently diagnosed oral cancer. It is important to note that while this term is oftentimes used to include both oral cavity and oropharyngeal SCC tumors, these are both separate entities [1,2]. Both are included within the larger group of Head and Neck Squamous Carcinoma (HNSCC), which is the sixth most common form of cancer worldwide [3]. Herein, the term oral SCC (OSCC) is used in reference to both SCC of the oral cavity and oropharynx. OSCC represents ∼2 to 3% of all human cancers [4].
