Heterogeneity of Oral Carcinogenesis: From PrEneoplasia to Invasive Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Sponsor: Centre Leon Berard
Summary
The goal of this project is to characterise the heterogeneity of all cell populations (tumour cells, stromal and immune microenvironment) present in the tumor and their normal (and OPMD) counterparts by scRNAseq in OSCC patients. Additionally, the study will evaluate the effectiveness of non-invasive cytobrushes as a diagnostic tool compared to traditional biopsies.

Interventions
Biospecimen
* 1 or 2 tumoral specimen (depending on the size of the tumor). * 1 specimen of the healthy oral mucosa. * 1 OPMD specimen if applicable. The biospecimens will be collected at the time of the surgery organised for the standard routine medical care.
Blood sampling
Blood sampling (6 mL), taken from a routine biological exam.
Biospecimen
* 1 OPMD lesion specimen. * 1 specimen of the healthy oral mucosa (facultative). The biospecimens will be collected during standard routine medical care.
Biospecimen
* 1 cytobrush sample. * 1 OPMD lesion specimen. Samples must be collected in sequence (first the cytobrush, then the biopsy collected during standard routine medical care.).
