  Background: Oral cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers in human population. Oral cancer accounts for approximately 3% of all malignancies and results in significant worldwide health problems. Many Oral Squamous cell carcinomas develop from Oral pre-cancer such as Leukoplakia, Oral sub mucus fibrosis, and Lichen Planus. The early detection of cancer is of critical importance because of survival rates markedly improve, when the oral lesion is identified at an early stage. The present study was conducted to find out if WBC count can be used as a screening marker for diagnosis of Oral pre Cancer & compare their levels in precancerous lesions and healthy individuals. Methodology: A prospective study was conducted which comprised of 60 samples out of which 30 were pre- cancerous lesions and 30 were healthy controls. In both the study a.. View More»
