Topic of Ph.D thesis work:
Relevance
Oral submucous fibrosis is a potent oral precancerous condition of South East
Asia, where an overall high incidence of oral cancer is reported. A high
prevalence figure, much above national average, of the disease is reported
among Kerala population. Considering its precancerous potency and the general
lack of awareness regarding its causation an attempt was made to undertake
this investigation, which ends in the award of a Ph.D degree. During the
investigation the pathogenesis of the disease became more apparent and could
formulate an alternative pathogenetic pathway for oral submucous fibrosis,
which was well appreciated by the scientific community. (Ref. Med. Hypothesis
30:35-42; 1989).
