Analysis of cell proliferation rate in Oral Leukoplakia and Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma [PDF]
Objectives: Assessment of the cell proliferation rate in tissues can be one of the markers for impending malignancy in precancers. The state of activation and the proliferation activity of the cells can be assessed by the frequency of silver stained ...

From Dysplasia to Carcinoma: Expression Patterns of Dermokine, Matriptase, and Tryptase in OPMD
ABSTRACT Background The malignant transformation of oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) lacks reliable molecular markers. Dermokine and matriptase are involved in epithelial differentiation and inflammation, while tryptase is associated with the tumor microenvironment, which may contribute to carcinogenesis.

Leukoplakia revisited.A clinicopathologic study 3256 oral leukoplakias [PDF]
During a 13-year period, 3256 specimens clinically diagnosed as leukoplakia (('keratosis," "white patch") were submitted to the oral pathology laboratories of Indiana University School of Dentistry and Emory University School of Dentistry. These comprised 6.2% of the tissue specimens processed by these laboratories. The cases were analyzed as to age of
