Biomineralogical Studies of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Biomineralogical studies - microscopic histology examination and EDS - of the tissues of oral squamous cell carcinomas were conducted. Elevated levels of Ca, P, Ni, K, S, N and others were found in the tissues. Those elements may have played a part in defecting DNA structure responsible for cell proliferation and development of cancerous tissue. It is also possible that elevated levels of those elements are the result of cancerous activities instead. Finding the answer requires further studies.
