Abstract

Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common type of carcinoma cancer in the oral cavity. About 50% of all cases of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma are OSCCs. Molecular identification needs to be done in cases of OSCC because the 5-year life expectancy or Disease-Specific Survival (DSS) of this cancer is low. The Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) method is a solution to make molecular identification more effective and efficient than the previous method. Based on several studies using NGS to sequence OSCC, it is found that this method is reliable, has high throughput, able to evaluate genetic relationships more precisely and accurately, and requires faster time and cost more efficient when compared with conventional methods. In conclusion, the usage of NGS is highly recommended, in order to swiftly diagnose the particular cause of this cancer. This, in turn, will give optimal intervention for patients with OSCC, increasing their life expectancy.
