Analysis of histopathological sections by image analysis software and Immunohistochemical localization for investigation of different protein expression patterns can be used as a valued tool for detection of progress of malignancy in oral cancer. The present study has applied microscopic analysis for different sections of oral precancerous conditions and lesions such as Oral Submucous Fibrosis,...

conclusions since ki-67 is extensively accepted as an important biomarker in diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of cancerous and precancerous lesions, a high degree of presence of this biomarker in chronic precancerous lesions, such as erosive olp, can be of great use in prognosis and suggested treatments. objectives this study aimed to evaluate ki-67 expression in erosive and non-erosive oral ...

background: the present study was undertaken to estimate and compare the levels of plasma total cholesterol (tc), low density lipoprotein (ldl), high density lipoprotein (hdl), very low density lipoprotein (vldl) and triglycerides in patients with oral precancerous lesions/conditions, oral cancer and normal subjects. materials and methods: the study comprised of 60 patients with oral precancero...

A distinction can be made between a precancerous condition and a precancerous lesion. The former is a clinical state associated with a significantly increased risk of cancer, whereas a precancerous lesion is a histopathological abnormality in which cancer is more likely to occur than in its apparently normal counterpart. Up to the present time atrophic gastritis, gastric ulcer, pernicious anaem...

Oral submucous fibrosis is chronic progressive condition of oral cavity. The condition is well recognized for its malignant potential. Usually the disease initiates with redness, blistering, and ulceration inside the mouth. It is characterized by progressive fibrosis of submucosal tissue. The pathogenesis of oral submucous fibrosis is not well understood. Betelquid chewing is the major etiologi...

BACKGROUND The present study was undertaken to estimate and compare the levels of plasma total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein (LDL), high density lipoprotein (HDL), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and triglycerides in patients with oral precancerous lesions/conditions, oral cancer and normal subjects. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study comprised of 60 patients with oral precancero...

Various treatment procedures for precancerous lesions in the oral cavity have been reported: excision surgery, electrocoagulation, cryosurgery, laser surgery, the local use of corticoids and administration of vitamin A. The main objective in the treatment of precancerous lesions of the oral cavity is to remove potentially neoplastic cells due to the possibility of recurrence and/or malignant tr...
