Anticancer Potential of Quercetin on Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Scoping Review and Molecular Docking.

ABSTRACT: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a type of cancer that has a low survival rate and high recurrence and metastasis rates. To date, there is still no effective treatment for OSCC. Various types of cancer, including OSCC, have reported quercetin to act as an anticancer agent, but there is no clear research data on how it may affect OSCC. To determine the anticancer potential of quercetin in OSCC, we conducted a scoping review, and to determine the interaction of quercetin with one of the proteins that plays a role in carcinogenesis, namely, BCL-2, we conducted molecular docking. The scoping review process was conducted based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews. The scoping review was searched by collecting articles rela
