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 cha

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
Data from the September 1985 Current Population Survey are used to estimate the effects of tobacco excise taxes and state laws restricting smoking in public places on the likelihood of current use of cigarettes or smokeless tobacco (ST) products (moist snuff or chewing tobacco) among males in the US
Previous studies of oral cancer have suggested that alterations of the p53 tumour suppressor gene occur early in the precancerous stage of development. However, these observations have been based on cross-sectional assessment of abnormal p53 protein staining by immunohistochemistry and may not neces
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.
