Show abstract
Oral cavity cancer, encompassing lip, mouth, and tongue cancers, is of interest because it is the sixteenth most prevalent neoplasia globally, accounting for 389,846 new cases and approximately 188,000 deaths by 2022. The specific objective of this study was to investigate morphological changes in the nuclei of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) using specific DNA staining techniques and an automated Irregularity Nuclear Index (NII) for classification. Samples from 32 patients diagnosed with OSCC were analyzed, with a focus on distinguishing tumor differentiation stages through nuclear morphometric analysis. A mixed-method approach was employed using fluorescence microscopy and FIJI software to quantify nuclear irregularities, which revealed significant insights into apoptosis, mitosis, interphase, and senescence. These findings aim to enhance diagnostic accuracy and provide new tools for the early detection and management of oral cavity cancer. This research highlights the potential for integrating digital methodologies in pathology to bridge gaps in our understanding of the relationship between morphological nuclear changes and molecular alterations in tumor progression.
