Risk factors for multiple oral premalignant lesions.
Oral leukoplakia, oral submucous fibrosis and erythroplakia are 3 major types of oral premalignant lesions. Multiple oral premalignant lesions may possibly develop due to field cancerization, where carcinogenic exposures can cause simultaneous genetic defects to the upper aerodigestive tract epithelium, putting the epithelium at high risk for development of premalignant lesions at different sta...
متن کاملCyclin D1 gene polymorphism as a risk factor for oral premalignant lesions.
BACKGROUND Deregulation of cell cycle plays an important role in tumorigenesis. Cyclin D1 gene (CCND1) is a key regulator of the G(1) phase of the cell cycle. METHODS In this case-control study of 115 oral premalignant lesion (OPL) patients and 230 controls, we genotyped the CCND1 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at the exon 4 splice site (G870A) and determined the association of this SNP...
متن کاملTissue eosinophils as a histopathological marker in oral premalignant and malignant lesions: a histochemical study
Introduction: Although recent studies show the association of eosinophils with different tumors including oral malignancies, the role of eosinophils in premalignant conditions of the oral cavity is not known precisely. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the number of eosinophils in premalignant and malignant conditions of the oral cavity and its role in progression to malignancy. Materia...
متن کاملHuman papillomavirus: a potential risk factor for colorectal carcinoma?
* Correspondence: [email protected] To the Editor We read the recent paper entitled “The frequency of human papillomaviruses in colorectal cancer samples in Mashhad, northeastern Iran” by Meshkat et al. (1) with great interest. In the mentioned article, by using GP5+/GP6+ primers, the authors suggested a possible role of human papillomavirus (HPV) in colorectal carcinogenesis. We would ...
متن کاملHuman papillomavirus: its identity and controversial role in oral oncogenesis, premalignant and malignant lesions (review).
Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are a group of host-specific DNA viruses, with a remarkable epithelial cell specificity: they have been reported principally in the ano-genital tract, urethra, skin, larynx, tracheo-bronchial and oral mucosa. More than 100 different HPV types have been identified and classified as high (e.g. 16, 18, 31) or low (e.g. 11, 42, 36) -risk (HR and LR), based on their ass...
