Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
This study will provide genomic information about Indian patients with oral cancers. This will
help us in developing targeted diagnostic platforms and help in tailoring theranostic
modalities. 
We propose to start this study by August 2025 and hope to finish within 24 months

Response - NO
Brief Summary   In recent years, genomic data is being captured for various cancers, this has allowed better understanding of the genomic variations in the patients. This has potential to help in personalizing treatment.There is limited data available regarding genomic variation of oral cancers. Major data which is available is from Western countries. There have only been a few studies which have evaluated this in Indian cohorts. The genomic data can help us understand which lesions can progress to malignancy, where there will be higher chances of recurrences, detecting such recurrences early, predicting treatment outcomes and thus being able to personalize therapies
