The feasibility of monitoring NF‐κB associated cytokines: TNF‐α, IL‐1α, IL‐6, and IL‐8 in whole saliva for the malignant transformation of oral lichen planus

Abstract excerpt

Previous investigations have demonstrated that immune activation and chronic inflammation may be one of the causes of oncogenesis. A previous study from our lab has shown significant increases of NF-kappaB dependent cytokines, TNF-alpha, IL-1alpha, IL-6, and IL-8 in different oral fluids from oral lichen planus (OLP) patients.
