Background

Head and neck Squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) are common in India and the survival rate has significantly increased over the past several decades as a result of increased public knowledge of health issues and the application of therapeutic techniques like radiotherapy, Chemotherapy or surgery [1]. Surgery is the primary treatment modality in all resectable oral cavity cancers, with radiotherapy/chemotherapy being used as an adjuvant therapy.
