In our current world, oral cancer is a significant health burden and is a relatively common diagnosis with an aggressive nature. Recently, oral cancer has had high mortality and morbidity rates as most cases were diagnosed in the later stages. Like many cancers, it is better to diagnose it early to prevent its growth. However, various diagnosis techniques have been in use and some are more practical than others. Whether it leaves the patient uncomfortable, causes pain, or costs too much, each technique has its disadvantages. With that, various patients have complained about the discomfort, cost, and accessibility. hoping for another technique that would be more effective in most aspects. In search of the practical technique, one in particular, the liquid biopsy, has shown room for growth and positive results in the aggressive oral cancer setting as it analyzes the various biomarkers present in a bodily fluid in a quick manner. As the need for a developing technique is continuously stressed on, this research paper discusses knowledge about the oral cancer detection factors and the liquid biopsy process. Primarily, it also determines whether the technique is a practical choice for the future of the diagnosis and detection of oral cancer.
