BACKGROUND: @entity213 (SCC) is a disease of older age group predominately in the sixth and eighth decades of life. The incidence of oral SCC (young age <40 years) varies between 0.4% and 3.9%. There has been increasing trend in younger age group worldwide as well as in India as reported by many studies. AIM: The aim of the present study was to compare the clinicopathological profile, treatment, and outcomes of @entity1544 and @entity5 in the young age group of <40 years old. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective observational study was done by retriving data of selected cohort from 2013 to 2015. @entity1 were divided into 2 groups: Group 1 (10-30 years) and Group 2 (31-40 years) for comparison. SPSS Version 16 software was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: Cohort of 217 @entity1 was analyzed. The male:female ratio was 11:1. The most frequent site of primary @entity5 was tongue > buccal mucosa. The primary site of @entity5 as oropharynx was present in 3 (5.17%) and 22 (13.83%) @entity1 , respectively, in two groups. Mean @entity1349 ( @entity1349 ) in two groups was 22.53 and 25.14 months, respectively (P = 0.119). The median disease-free survival (DFS) in two groups was 7 and 8 months, respectively. CONCLUSION: The present study showed that the incidence of @entity5 increases with age, but the behavior is more aggressive in a younger age group in spite of aggressive treatment, the DFS and @entity1349 were not improved in under 30 years group.
