Patients with only primary untreated OSCC (higher than stage III) who have not undergone treatments (i.e., radiotherapy/chemotherapy, surgery) were recruited as described in an earlier study (Sami et al., 2020)
These organizations included petting zoos, childrens playgrounds, children day care centres, sports clubs (expected to be smoke-free by 2025), general hospitals, and other health care institutes (including addiction and mental health institutes)
This was associated with decreased gemcitabine-induced caspase-3 cleavage and inhibition of phosphorylated/ activated forms of Akt, Erk and Src in xenograft tissues (14)
The authors will also present their thoughts on a proposed multimodal perioperative protocol focused on identifying limb edema/lymphedema preoperatively, intraoperative technique changes that may decrease swelling, and lastly mitigating acute post-operative swelling response with the intent of decreasing pain, improving patient outcomes, and reducing the morbidity of chronic post-operative edema
