The identification of molecular markers in negative surgical margins of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) might help in identifying residual molecular aberrations, and potentially improve the prediction of prognosis. We performed an Infinium MethylationEPIC BeadChip array on 32 negative surgical margins stratified based on the status of tumor recurrence in order to identify recurrence-specific aberrant DNA methylation (DNAme) markers. We identified 2512 recurrence-associated Differentially Methylated Positions (DMPs) and 392 Differentially Methylated Regions (DMRs) which were enriched in cell signaling and cancer-related pathways. A set of 14-CpG markers was able to discriminate recurrent and non-recurrent cases with high specificity and sensitivity rates (AUC 0.98, p = 3 × 10−6; CI: 0.95–1). A risk score based on the 14-CpG marker panel was applied, with cases classified within higher risk scores exhibiting poorer survival. The results were replicated using tumor-adjacent normal HNSCC samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). We identified residual DNAme aberrations in the negative surgical margins of OSCC patients, which could be informative for patient management by improving therapeutic intervention. This study proposes a novel DNAme-based 14-CpG marker panel as a promising predictor for tumor recurrence, which might contribute to improved decision-making for the personalized treatment of OSCC cases.

We analyzed the genetic and epigenetic profiles of an oral squamous cell carcinoma affecting a 41-year-old pregnant female. The patient presented with an oral mass located at the hard and soft palate with bone involvement and lymph node metastases (T4N1M0). She had been treated with multimodal radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and she is currently alive with no evidence of disease 8 years after treatment. DNA methylation and DNA mutation analyses were used to analyze multiple samples from the tumor mass and from the non-neoplastic mucosa to verify tumor heterogeneity. Genetic and epigenetic analyses revealed the presence of one shared TP53 driver mutation with the same DNA methylation profile in each of the 3 areas of the tumor mass; only 2 additional passenger mutations were detected, suggesting a simple clonal homogeneous carcinoma, which usually is associated with low-level aggressive behavior. Additionally, no genetic or epigenetic alteration in the non-neoplastic oral mucosa was detected, demonstrating the absence of field cancerization. The low aggressiveness of the lesion was confirmed by the patient being free of disease at a long-term follow-up examination. These data suggest a different molecular transformation pathway in pregnancy-related oral squamous cell carcinomas, providing new perspectives for further investigation.
