Tissue fatty acid composition and secretory phospholipase-A2 activity in oral squamous cell carcinoma

Purpose Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a remarkable health problem worldwide, but its pathogenesis remains unknown. The aim of this study was to compare fat composition and secretory phospholipase-A2 (sPLA2) activity between the malignant and adjacent normal squamous tissues in patients with OSCC.
