β¦ Synopsis
Treatment of oral precancer is largely based on histological grading of epithelial dysplasia, despite the fact that this estimation is subjective and therefore carries a low reproducibility. The grade of epithelial dysplasia may not be proportional to the risk of malignant potential and clinical characteristics may complement therapeutic decisions. Molecular genetic changes found in oral epithelial dysplasia remain unclear and at present lack clinical significance. Genomic and proliferation markers are likely to be associated with histopathological parameters, but their relationship with the grading of dysplasia remains uncertain. They are potential biomarker candidates but their utility in prognosis of oral precancer deserves further study.

Background. Suprabasal expression of Ki-67 is assessed as a marker for oral dysplasia. The study involved nonneoplastic epithelium adjacent to 74 oral squamous cell carcinomas. Methods. An immunohistochemical technique was carried out (peroxidase-antiperoxidase) with the monoclonal antibody MIB-1.
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND: Patients with oral premalignant lesions (OPL) present with oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC) at a much higher rate than the general population. There are currently no useful markers that indicate specifically which OPLs are most likely to progress. Three small integri
Oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) is an important risk factor in predicting subsequent development of invasive carcinoma. Despite the malignant potential of OED, the current state of knowledge regarding aetiological risk factors associated with OED is limited. The aim of our study was to evaluate the
## BACKGROUND. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a new local, endoscopically controlled therapeutic concept based on the selective sensitization of malignant and precancerous lesions prior to light-induced tissue destruction. 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) appears to be a promising alternative photosen
