Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) accounts for 80-90% of all malignant neoplasms of the oral cavity (Johnson et al., 2011). However, there is limited data on the incidence of OSCC among Filipino population. This study aimed to determine the frequency and distribution of OSCC in diagnosed patients among sex and age groups, by primary site of occurrence, Tumor, Nodes and Metastases (TNM) staging classification and treatment modalities over a six-year timeline in Philippine General Hospital (PGH) Department of Otorhinolaryngology. Methodology. The research is a descriptive, epidemiological study which involved gathering of secondary data, particularly hospital censuses of OSCC patients from the PGH Department of Otorhinolaryngology which totaled to 92, 980 records. No statistical analyses were utilized since this study solely involves collection and analysis of existing data. Results. Results showed that there were 345 cases of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma from 2013 to 2018. Majority of the cases were males. Also, most of the patients were 50 years old and above with mean age of 54.3 years old. The tongue was the most predominant of occurrence among patients. The TNM staging classification of most cases cannot be determined. And lastly, the most common mode of treatment were Wide Local Excision and Neck dissection. Conclusion. All in all, 345 patients were diagnosed with Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Philippine General Hospital Department of Otorhinolaryngology from 2013 to ddf2018: 78 cases in 2013, 75 cases in 2014, 58 cases in 2015, 67 cases in 2016, 21 cases in 2017 and 46 cases in 2018. Accordingly, 2013 has the highest number of cases with 78 diagnosed patients. Squamous cell carcinoma. Sia, May Carol Macapia G., technical adviser . FI UPMNL DENT LG993.5 2019 D4 A48 Thesis
