Abstract:
Oral and maxillofacial tumors significantly impact human health,with oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC)being par-ticularly prevalent among head and neck tumors.At present,traditional research in this area has largely relied on genomics,pro-teomics,and transcriptomics,which involve the homogenization of tissue specimens and result in the loss of critical temporal and spatial tissue information.In contrast,spatial metabolomics,an emerging field,allows for the in-situ analysis of fresh tissue sam-ples,preserving this essential information.This article reviews the application of spatial metabolomics in OSCC research,highlight-ing its potential to enhance understanding of cancer pathogenesis directly within the tissue context.
