Abstract
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) represents approximately 4.5% of all malignancies worldwide and is characterized by a stagnant 5-year survival rate of 63%, underscoring the need for deeper insights into its pathogenesis and treatment. Emerging evidence suggests that the oral microbiome plays a pivotal role in shaping the tumor microenvironment (TME), modulating immune responses and influencing treatment efficacy. This study investigates the cellular and molecular interactions among the oral
