back ground: the aim of this study was to characterize the immunohistochemical expression of galectin 1, 3, and 9 in normal oral epithelium, oral squamous papilloma, and oral squamous cell carcinoma. materials and methods: immunohistochemical staining for galectins 1, 3, and 9 was evaluated in 8 samples of normal oral squamous epithelium, 15 samples of oral squamous papilloma, and 41 samples of...

This research focuses on the present economic, cultural, and linguistic issues of Telok Melano, a hamlet in Sarawak that was formerly isolated from nearby communities. Melano is changing dramatically as result Pan Borneo Highway construction nature cultural obsolescence modern society. qualitative study has been conducted through face-to-face structured semi-structured interviews, well particip...

Traditional methods of screening for oral potentially malignant disorders and oral malignancies involve a conventional oral examination with digital palpation. Evidence indicates that conventional examination is a poor discriminator of oral mucosal lesions. A number of optical aids have been developed to assist the clinician to detect oral mucosal abnormalities and to differentiate benign lesio...

UNLABELLED Oral malignant melanoma is a rare aggressive neoplasm of the middle age. This malignancy commonly affects male subjects and is more frequently seen at the level of the hard palate and gingiva. At present, the clinicopathological classification of oral melanoma is not yet clearly outlined; consequently, the skin form is often taken as a reference. In many cases (up to 30%), the diagno...

This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of oral cancer research published in three leading journals (Oral Oncology, Journal Oral Pathology and Medicine, surgery medicine pathology Radiology) between 2011 2022 covering pathology. The identifies publications citation metrics evaluates the performance journals, authors, institutions, countries as well prevalent topics trends thro...

  Background and Objectives: There are a few studies on histopathologic type of oral lesions especially from Iran. The aim of this study was to survey the oral lesions in Babol, northern Iran. Methods: The histopathology records were retrospectively reviewed for all lesions of oral cavity and jaws, during the years 1990 to 2009. The data were collected from the archive of pathology and analyz...

Background: The oral cavity is one of the most common sites for various tumors and tumor like lesions. Among the malignant lesions, squamous cell carcinoma is single most common malignant lesion of this region. Aims and Objectives: To study the histopathology of different tumor and tumor like lesion of oral cavity with relation to age, sex , site and risk factors involved in these lesions. Mate...

Oral leukoplakia (OL) is the most common premalignancy in the oral cavity and can progress to oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). SMAD4 is a tumor suppressor implicated in multiple cancer types including OSCC. To assess the role of SMAD4 in oral leukoplakia malignant transformation, the authors investigated SMAD4 expression patterns in OL and OSCC using a highly specific antibody and correlate...

Oral leukoplakia (OL) is the most common potentially malignant lesions of the oral cavity and Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) accounts more than 95% of all malignant neoplasms in the oral cavity. Therefore, the aim of this study to report the immunoexpression of metallothionein in dysplastic lesions to correlate with histological grade and OSCC. Samples of 5 normal oral mucosa, 15 dysplasti...
